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.
