Solidarity program and Partnerships Committee
The Solidarity Program & Partnerships Committee works to find opportunities for the SGP to move away from a US-centric focus and create mutually reinforcing relationships with local feminist and gender professional networks around the world. The Committee also works hand-in-hand with the Secretariat to put in place partnerships with global and local feminist organizations for the Solidarity Initiative.
Membership and Nominations Committee
The Membership and Nominations Committee organizes elections under the supervision of the Parliamentarian. The Nominations Committee includes members for at least one year, and are not currently holding elected office or serving on the Advisory Council. It is the duty of this committee to call for nominations for the office from the Membership, as well as to seek at least one (1) candidate for each office for which no nominations were received, when that situation arises. The Membership and Nominations Committee is currently vacant.
Diversity and Inclusion Committee
The Diversity & Inclusion Committee works to increase the diversity of SGP's membership and ensure that SGP activities and communications are inclusive of our diverse membership. This includes advising on SGP technology and web accessibility, promoting inclusive outreach and nomination practices, and reviewing communications and other practices for implicit bias. The Committee also advises on ways to increase diversity and inclusion within the gender profession.
Event and Professional Development Committee
The Events and Professional Development Committee provides professional development opportunities to SGP members, including events and activities to promote networking, collaboration, mentoring, and leadership for gender academics, practitioners, and activists, The Committee tracks and analyzes the stated needs of SGP members and proposes ( and plans) structures and activities to meet these needs.
