Committee Options

Serving on a SAWCC Committee is a great opportunity to give back, develop and/or improve your leadership skills, and meet potential new clients. The committees help to implement the direction of our organization and serve our mission. Overall, your commitment will directly impact the success and advancement of women in our community.

These are volunteer positions and we are respectful of your time commitment.
