Communications Committee:
Oversee all Women in Development communications such as the website, eNews, and social media. Create email correspondence to members, such as WiD event invitations and programming communications. Social media expertise, strong writing skills, and excellent communication skills are preferred. 3-5 hours is the average monthly time commitment.

Membership Committee:
The Membership Committee strives to achieve two goals: to recruit and retain WiD members and to enhance the value of WiD membership. The Membership Committee assures that there is a variety of program offerings to address the interest of our diverse membership. We are looking for friendly, outgoing committee members who are willing to connect to WiD members at each program to welcome them and serve as a resource. We would also like to personally reach out to those whose membership is about to lapse. Volunteers are expected to attend as many of WiD’s programs and events as possible and to devote 1 – 3 hours per month.

Luncheons Committee:
Plan and manage the four annual luncheon series including recruitment and coordination of speakers and tactics for promotion and execution. Strong skills in project management and event planning, as well as a vast fundraising leadership network, are preferred. Two hours is the average monthly time commitment.

Special Programs Committee:
Provide meaningful programs to mid-level professionals. Strong skills in project management, cold call solicitation, and event planning are required. 2-4 hours is the average monthly time commitment.

Woman of Achievement Committee:
Coordinate the annual Women of Achievement luncheon, which recognizes a woman who has contributed greatly to the field of development. This is the signature annual event of WiD. Seasoned fundraisers who excel in project management, writing, and communication skills are preferred. 5 hours or more is the required monthly time commitment.
