- Partner with other organizations where appropriate
Contemporary Social Issues Committee
The purpose of this committee shall be to identify topics and develop programs that educate chapter members on current social issues.
Eastern Suffolk Activities Committee
Eastern Suffolk Activities is an initiative created to bring the women of the "east end" opportunities to connect with each other. Drawing on the most popular activities in the Women's Connection, we plan "pop-up" activities closer to home. There are no minimum requirements; if an event appeals to you, you join in. We take walks, go to lunch, go on a day trip. Although women of the east end are given first priority, all events are open to all the members of the Long Island Chapter.
Events and Programs Committee
In addition to looking for great social activities, our members have asked for programs that address a variety of interests and current topics. The committee:
- Identifies and develops ideas for programs
- Works to design programs and workshops that share information
- Stimulate new ideas and conversation among members
- Researches and contacts potential presenters
- Arranges program details such as date, location and cost
- Hosts the event and obtains feedback on the value of the program
This committee offers a great opportunity to share ideas, meet interesting people and bring exciting programs to our members.
The Health & Wellness Committee
Our Committee addresses current and relevant topics that engage our members’ well-being; both physically and emotionally. In our current climate our vision is upbeat and our topics are related to “Seasons of Self-care”
