Professional networking. Collaborate and share ideas on our program (PA-List) and center  (CA-List) adminstrator listserves.

Annual conference. NWSA develops a vibrant national conference that includes special sessions for program and center administrators, and offers special opportunities for professional development.

Data on the field. NWSA gathers and reports annual data about job listings in women’s studies and women’s centers. NWSA also gathers key data on the field of women’s studies that culminated in a collaboration with Ms. Magazine in spring 2008. The searchable database is available online.

Support for students. Institutional membership offers three student memberships annually that may be used any time during the calendar year. Students must complete and return individual member forms.

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
AND DEVELOPMENT

The Program Administration and Development Committee is specifically designed to represent the interests and needs of administrators of women's studies / gender 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.

The PA&D Committee consists of all women's studies / gender 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 and sponsors a pre-conference event at the annual NWSA Conference.

CAMPUS WOMEN'S CENTERS

NWSA recognizes that "women's studies" is broader than what happens in the classroom. NWSA acknowledges women's centers as chief out-of-class feminist educators and encourages participation in the national organization.

Campus-based women's centers have a long history of working together with women's studies to transform the curriculum, the campus environment, and society at large.

The Women's Centers Committee of NWSA provides an opportunity for women's center directors, staff and others to gather and share information, ideas, challenges, successes and support.

The Women's Centers Committee sponsors an annual pre-conference event as well as sessions during the NWSA annual conference.
