Committees

Event Planning

The purpose of the Events Committee is to plan NAWIC BN monthly events which provide information through a tour, workshop, presentation, or panel discussion; either in-person or via Zoom. These events, when held in person, should include a meal and a fee, with discounts for NAWIC BN Members, to encourage networking. The Events Committee will establish the number, schedule, and location of events as well as help to coordinate sponsorship.

Time Commitment: Bi-weekly virtual meetings, action as needed, arrive 30mins before event.
