Why women are less involved, what you can do.

·      They physically don’t see many other women at meetings

·      The discussions seem to be somewhat unwelcoming

·      Leadership positions are not being given to women as much

What Your Group Can Do

·       Invite your friends, simply having other women in the room may make newcomers feel more comfortable, and your friends will likely have a good time and spread the word

·       Appoint Women to Leadership Positions.  Having a woman Prez. will help your estrogen-friendly image!

·       Focus on Women’s issues—(see the attached list of interesting topics)

·       For discussions-appoint a moderator who will make sure that the regular members are not monopolizing the discussion, and that newcomers are invited to participate in the conversation.   

·       Team up with Campus NOW, or Amnesty International, host an event with the ‘Women and Gender Studies’ department.  Be creative, locate other women’s organizations at your school and collaborate.
