Established by statute in 1970, the Kentucky Commission on Women comprises the Lieutenant Governor and not more than 24 members and a chairperson, who are appointed by the Governor. Members serve four-year terms.
In appointing the Commission the Governor attempts to ensure, insofar as it may be practicable, and with due regard to the several geographic regions and socioeconomic groups, that the board is broadly representative of the women of the commonwealth.
