Planning an EYH conference is not a task for one person. A good planning committee should have at least 4 to 6 dedicated individuals. The national office has a comprehensive organizational packet to help you determine which committees you will need and what they should do. Sample committees may include a facility committee, a fundraising committtee, a program committee, and a marketing and publicity committee.
How to recruit committee members:
- If on faculty at a University, contact female colleagues who are involved in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. If you are not already part of a university contact the school of engineering or computer science and try to locate female faculty to introduce them to our program.
- Contact your local chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW.org). Many local chapters already co-sponsor EYH conferences. Tell them a bit about our program and ask them if their chapter is interested in taking on a community service project to get more middle and high school girls interested in STEM careers.
- Once interest is built, set an initial planning meeting to bring these parties together.
- The Executive Director often attends the first planning meeting to help get the committee started. She will come to your city with all of the planning materials you need to organize your conference from start to finish.
