Boston, Massachusetts ~ The Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW) is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a gala dinner at Lombardo's in Randolph, MA on Thursday, June 22nd. The event will honor the MCSW for their work in advancing the rights and opportunities of women and girls across the Commonwealth.

The speaking program for the evening will feature a fireside chat between current Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts Kim Driscoll and former Lieutenant Governor Jane Swift, moderated by award-winning journalist Lauren Melendez from NBC10 Boston. The event will also include a comedy performance by Tooky Kavanagh.

Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll said, "We are thrilled to celebrate the 25th anniversary with the MCSW, an incredible organization that continues to ensure that all women and girls in the Commonwealth thrive. MCSW has and will continue to put their boots to the ground, with 19 volunteer commissioners, 11 regional bodies, and dedicated staff and interns who continue to advocate for full equality in all areas of life for women. We are thankful for their tireless dedication and look forward to honoring the past, present, and future of all women across the Commonwealth."

Former Lieutenant Governor Jane Swift added "It is hard to imagine today with all but one of our Constitutional offices held by a woman just how hard the fight for women's political representation has been in the Commonwealth. The MCSW has been fighting for representation and for what that means for the women of Massachusetts for a quarter century and their impact has been profound and crucial."
