GFWC Committees

Much of the work performed by GFWC volunteers takes place under the auspices of a standing or special committee of appointed members who work on subject-area topics to promote organizational effectiveness and efficiency.

Committees meet several times each year to create agendas, set goals, and develop program ideas.
