WCSA’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee is excited to work alongside other WCSA members and Congressional Staff organizations to further diversity and inclusion within WCSA on and off Capitol Hill. One of the committee’s main goals for this year is to ensure that WCSA is working to foster an inclusive environment within and on Capitol Hill.

We hope to accomplish this by working collaboratively to plan panels, networking events, and other programming focused on women and diversity.

The Events & Activities Committee organizes and plans events, such as member-written book events and receptions. The committee also plans networking activities such as happy hours, dinners, and trips.

The Outreach and Community Service Committee organizes and plans community service activities with an emphasis on helping women and girls. The committee also recruits members for our Congressional Council, and develops strategies to retain alumni members.

The Professional Development Committee organizes and plans career development events such as salary negotiation, resume development, networking skills, interviewing skills, and career advancement events. The committee is also responsible for developing a mentorship program.
