matters of special concern to women. Its primary charge is to be a forum for the ideas and concerns of
women associated with WHOI. Each member is charged to make herself aware of pertinent issues and to be
accessible to the women around her, to better represent them in the committee. The eight-member
committee represents all women at the Institution: Joint Program Students, members of the Scientific,
Technical, and Exempt Administrative Staffs, and members of the Graded Administrative and Research
Staff. Members of the Committee may be contacted by sending email to the Women’s Committee mailing
