Women's Center Advisory Board Applications Now Available

Be A Voice for the Women's Center - Deadline April 30, 2021

The Women’s Center Advisory Board is a collective of faculty, staff, and affiliate students with an interest in supporting and cultivating the work of the Women’s Center at UMBC and advancing gender equity and social justice on UMBC’s campus.

Board members participate in monthly board meetings, scheduled for the first Friday of each month during the academic year. This forum allows Women’s Center staff to share information about the Center and similarly allows the board members to share their knowledge, wisdom and unique perspectives to advance the mission of the Women’s Center.

In addition to advising the professional staff of the Women’s Center, Board members and affiliates help and give support in the planning, programming, and advocacy of the Women’s Center. Board members and affiliates are encouraged to attend Women’s Center events when possible and volunteer at larger events such as Critical Social Justice, Take Back the Night, or the Returning Women Students networking event. These responsibilities may occasionally entail additional hours of commitment outside of the monthly board meetings.

Board members are appointed for two-year terms, with the possibility of renewal. Student Affiliates serve a one-year term, with possibility of renewal.

Students are invited to join the Board via an affiliate position and can do so by completing the same application process as faculty and staff.

The Women’s Center seeks to serve a diverse community of people interested in women’s, gender, and social justice issues. We seek a diverse board to assure that varying needs and interests are represented.
