Our Committees

The Women’s Fund is a volunteer-driven membership organization. As a member, you only need to make your annual contribution and hopefully cast your vote. However, there are opportunities to volunteer on the Cabinet and committees if you wish to become more involved with a dynamic group of women who share their expertise to strengthen The Women’s Fund and contribute to a stronger community.
