Women's Suffrage Centennial Celebration

The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guaranteed women the right to vote. In honor of this important milestone in our nation’s history, the Board of Commissioners established the Celebration of Women’s Suffrage Ad Hoc Committee.

Throughout 2020, the committee invited Oakland County residents to learn more about the history of women's suffrage through a variety of exciting programming and events.

The members of the committee are:

Marcia Gershenson, Chair
Angela Powell, Democratic Member
Former Commissioner Tom Kuhn, Republican Member
