Committee Goals

The Membership Committee is responsible for attracting and involving
women alumnae who are leaders in their chosen fields. To do this, they will
facilitate identification of and maintain a pool of candidates; select those
candidates to be recommended for membership on the President’s Council;
identify members whose terms are recommended for renewal; encourage
involvement of members and recognize them for their contributions; and provide
orientation for new members.

Strengthen the activities of the four subcommittees:

• Identification and Nomination

• Evaluation and Selection

• Outreach

• Membership Management

This year, the Membership Committee set four objectives to guide its
recruitment and retention goals:

1. Finalize the by-laws and get approved by Hunter
2. Membership management - Determine the phased in approach for the term limits and focus on renewals for next year
3. Update Nomination form - look to enhance information for the selection committee, current form is limiting.
4. Increase activity amongst membership - look to improve activity levels, working with other committees.

The work of the Membership Committee is perhaps the most cross-cutting of
all committees. Our fundamental purpose is to ensure that PCCW is comprised
of a vibrant, active, distinguished, and representative group of Cornell alumnae
at all times. To do this, we must recruit and retain women who meet our
membership criteria, ensure that members can play a meaningful role in
PCCW, and promote positive relationships among PCCW members.
