Commission Structure

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee organizes the work of the CSW, determines programming for the year, and sets goals for the campus commissions. Members of the Executive Committee include the Campus Commission Chair and Chair-Elect for each campus, the President’s and Provost’s ex-officio to the Commission, the Vice President of Human Resources, and the CSW Program Director.

Campus committees

The CSW is a single organizational unit divided into four committees located at the Downtown Phoenix, Tempe, Polytechnic and West campuses. All four campus commissions are governed by an Executive Committee. At the campus level, each campus commission is led by an appointed campus commission chair and an appointed chair-elect. Representation to the campus commission is comprised of Provost-Appointed representatives, appointed student representatives, service representatives, and organizational liaisons. Together, the committee works on a variety of projects specific to their campus that relate to issues such as women’s equity and campus climate. These projects typically incorporate aspects of research, marketing, and advocacy work. Campus commissions are also responsible for completing projects assigned by the Executive Committee.

Membership categories

There are four membership categories on the commission: Presidential Appointee, Student Appointee, Liaison Representative, and Interested Individuals. Listed below is a description of these categories.
