The purpose of the Women's Forum is to bring together the women of the University System of Maryland in order to enhance the status of women, to foster networking among women and to encourage the participation of women in all facets of the System.

It is the express purpose of the Women's Forum to respect and to value the diversity and richness of the perspectives and experiences of all communities of women within the System.

The Executive Council of the USM Women's Forum consists of three representatives from each USM institution. The Chancellor sanctions the Executive Council and its four annual meetings. Each campus determines its own method for selection of representatives; however, at least one representative will be a presidential appointment.

The Executive Council works tirelessly year-round to bring you quality programming; to raise and award funding for scholarships, research, and training; to disseminate publications to keep you informed; to act as an advocate for issues relating to women in the USM; and to conduct other important activities.

To get involved, contact your campus representative.
