I think, however, you are thinking of the EPC which allows churches to ordain women as deacons.
The EPC allows churches to ordain women to all offices, although up until now I understand TE's have been rare and many churches prohibit women officers. However this may change as more congregations from the PCUSA go into the EPC.

I understand that the RPCNA and ARP have deaconnesses.
