The Kollel replies:
Yes, a woman can appoint a Shali'ach to accept Kidushei Shtar or Kesef for her (not Bi'ah). The Gemara in Kidushin (41a) learns this from the word "v'Shilchah" (Devarim 24), which teaches that a woman can appoint a Shali'ach to receive her Get, and a Hekesh teaches that the same is true of Kidushin.
