Title: Nominations committee files

Description: The Texas International Women's Year (IWY) Coordinating Committee, also known as the Texas Coordinating Committee, was created by Congress in December 1975 with the passage of Public Law 94-167 (HR 9924) for the purpose of holding state meetings to elect delegates and adopt resolutions that promoted equal rights for women to present at the National Women's Conference, which presented the nationally adopted resolutions to Congress. The Texas Coordinating Committee's nominations committee was chaired by Ann Richards and was responsible for overseeing the delegate nominations and voting as well as notifying members and the national committee of the delegates selected. The records are delegate nominee registration forms and résumés, correspondence, copies of delegate nomination forms with the number votes each delegate received, rules and procedures, volunteer assignments, floor plans, printed copies of election results, and election tally sheets, all dating 1977. The Texas delegates to the national conference were to represent the general population of Texas women. To ensure equal representation, the committee tracked demographic information. The nomination forms denote demographic information. One envelope that was sealed when it was received and remained sealed.
