Cities for CEDAW notifies Toledo that mayor will receive recognition at UN CSW; city to confirm attendance
Summary
Cities for CEDAW informed commission staff that Toledo’s mayor has been selected for an honor at the Commission on the Status of Women convening in New York; the mayor could travel to accept the award or receive a presentation in Toledo if unavailable.
Staff told the commission that Cities for CEDAW has selected Mayor Kev Sakavich to receive an award at events tied to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York, and that the city is awaiting scheduling details.
Benita, the gender equity manager, said Cities for CEDAW contacted her and that the organization asked local partners whether the mayor should be recommended; she later learned the mayor “is getting the award.” Benita said the CSW convening typically takes place during the second and third weeks of March and that the mayor’s office is checking its schedule. If the mayor is available, the city would send him to New York to accept the honor; if not, Cities for CEDAW may send a presenter to Toledo.
Benita said she will share the exact date and opportunities for commission members to attend or support the recognition. She noted that while she planned to attend CSW in prior years, she had not planned to travel this year but could adjust if necessary to support the mayor and the commission.
