Who we are

Established in 1956, our district includes eighteen clubs serving Contra Costa, San Joaquin, and parts of Alameda, Mendocino, and Napa counties. Our membership reflects a diverse range of communities and industries.

We hold bimonthly general meetings, hosted by our member clubs, excluding December and the summer months.

Our mission is to unite our clubs and promote educational and civic programs that strengthen our communities and support the legacy of GFWC.

Meet our Executive Commitee

The Executive Board is composed of dedicated members from across our 18 clubs who are elected to serve two-year terms. Together, they provide leadership, guidance, and oversight of district activities while supporting the success of our clubs and advancing our mission.

Our Clubs

Our 18 clubs are the heart of our district—each one rooted in its community and driven by a passion for service. Together, they form a strong network making a meaningful difference. We invite you to connect with a local club and become part of the impact.
