Seattle Women's Commission

The Seattle Women's Commission is a commission in the city of Seattle, Washington, responsible for advising the mayor, city council, and city departments on issues related to women residents. It was founded in 1972 by Jeanette Williams.[1]

The commission is composed of twenty representatives appointed by the mayor and Seattle City Council. Commissioners serve a two-year appointment on a volunteer basis.[2]

Jeanette Williams Award

Since 2003, the Seattle Women's Commission in partnership with the Seattle Office of Civil Rights have granted the Jeanette Williams Award to recognize individuals, organizations, and businesses who demonstrate significant leadership and service in advancing the cause of women in Seattle.[3] The award is granted on an annual basis.[4]

gollark: `async function(username) { let result = await api.get('euw1', 'league.getLeagueEntriesForSummoner', 'MLR_5XD45pduq2iducsga00c4qi5sWqpaRkadd_E0fFhKXU') return result}` is a really longwinded way to write `api.get('euw1', 'league.getLeagueEntriesForSummoner', 'MLR_5XD45pduq2iducsga00c4qi5sWqpaRkadd_E0fFhKXU')`, by the way. async/await is just nice syntax for promises.
gollark: <@102436520559910912> That's just an anonymous async function, so yes, it won't run if you don't do anything with it.
gollark: To just waste CPU cycles, this has worked for me before when I wanted to do that for some evil reason or other, but it's probably not very sound:```cvolatile long long int i = 0;while (i < [a big number]) { i++; }```
gollark: Oh right, probably.
gollark: If you do just need to make it do something for a bit, maybe just```cfor (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) {}```or something would work, though compilers are getting crafty and might optimize it.
