Committees & Teams
WIN members combine our resources in order to have a significant impact on our community. Committees, Teams and Circles bring us together, and are a great way to get to know one another!

Wondering what would be expected?
Committees vary greatly in terms of skills required, effort involved and which times of the year they are most busy. For example, Membership and Communications & PR are active throughout the year. Philanthropy is just getting off the ground and designing their new approach - a great time to join! The Grants committee is intensely active in the first part of the year leading up to selecting our recipients in May.
Even within a committee time requirements vary and you can manage your overall contribution throughout the year - as little or as much as you can offer, and whenever it works for you!
