WPB Standing Committees

The Women’s Philanthropy Board has seven active committees which carry out the mission of the board. These standing committees are composed of volunteers from within the WPB membership. Each committee has a chair or, in some cases, co-chairs. In addition, a representative from the College of Human Sciences administrative team serves in a nonvoting liaison role representing the Office of the Dean. Committee Chairs prepare reports of their committee’s activities at each of the WPB Executive Committee meetings and also share an annual report with the entire membership during the WPB Winter Board Meeting.
