2025 INITIATIVES
We are constantly working to improve the function and form of our organization. Our key initiatives for 2025 are:
- Technical programming - recruiting additional resources and member-volunteers to bolster this very active committee, develop quality of content and quantity of technical programming opportunities, and tie in the benefit to our members in a clear manner.
- Fundraising tied to membership benefits - expand the fundraising role to extend beyond the timeframe of the Touchstone Awards and make it a year-long committee.
- Expand our group's diversity - increase focus on generational, cultural, racial, gender, orientation, and abilities diversity.
- Develop processes and procedures for each SWEP committee - each committee will be creating their own ‘How To’ manual to clearly lay out the committee tasks and best practices.
- Govern ourselves clearly and by the established rules and regulations - continue to develop a working understanding of the established bylaws.
