What do you do as a committee member?
Work with other members of your committee to advise CSWC's board on actions to take, and provide more in-depth information to the board on a particular topic. For example, the JEDI committee provides a 20-30 minute training to the entire board during each board meeting, and is also deciding on a book for the entire board to read as a book club on JEDI topics.
How do I find out more about joining?
Contact the committee you are interested in joining (emails listed below). You can then attend a committee meeting to see if it is a good fit for you. Committees typically meet once a month, with some meeting once a quarter.
