NWSA PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION AND DEVELOPMENT
bar

 

The Program Administration and Development Committee (PA&D) is a standing committee in NWSA specifically designed to represent the interests and needs of administrators of women's studies programs and departments to the Governing Council of NWSA and to assist NWSA in meeting the needs of women's administrators and their departments and programs.

Please consult our list of PA&D Advisory Council members if you wish to contact one of us with specific questions or concerns, or you may send a general enquiry to padinfo@nwsa.org

The PA&D Committee consists of all women's studies program administrators (chairs, directors, coordinators) whose programs, departments or other academic units are member institutions of NWSA.

This body is convened once a year for a Business Meeting at the annual NWSA Conference and is sustained by the Program Administrator Listserve (PAlist).
