Committees

Drawing inspiration from democratic governance and distributed leadership models, we leverage a committee structure to expand our collective capacity to shape our own work, sustain efforts beyond arbitrary grant timelines, and bridge geographic and professional divides. CSIDNet core members serve on committees that manage and make decisions about operational areas including the administrative, financial, and organizational development efforts needed to sustain the network. We have 7 committees that are convened by co-chairs who serve as a point of contact for the broader network and support their committee in accomplishing its stated goals. For transparency and coordination, committees regularly report to the full membership.
