The advisory board, composed of faculty, staff, and students, is a decision-making body for the LDCW on matters concerning the Center’s budget, membership, programs, grant-reviews, and other important matters. The board meets five to six times during the academic year (more if necessary) and is in frequent communication with the Center’s director to assist in various ways, including the development of policy for the Center. The term is 3 years, with the possibility of serving a second 3-year term.

Those interested are invited to send a statement of interest (about 1-2 pages) to the Luann Dummer Center for Women, centerforwomen@stthomas.edu, no later than 5:30 pm on  Friday, September 3^rd.

Please include information on academic or professional experience with issues related to women, gender equity, and/or social justice. We are looking for energetic and committed people who share the goals of the LDCW. Please view the LDCW website for its mission and programs: https://www.stthomas.edu/ldcw/
