We are reintroducing subcommittees! Volunteers on AWIS-CAC subcommittees will assist the VP of Programs and Outreach and the VP of Finance and Fundraising. The time-commitment for subcommittees is less than executive board positions and the frequency/timing of subcommittee meetings will be decided after election winners are announced. These positions are not elected.
