Women of UCSF Health Events Committee - Seeking New Members!

Join our Events Committee! Learn more below. 

Purpose of Events Committee

The Events Team aims to increase engagement for UCSF staff, clinicians, learners, faculty and overall community for education, networking, organizing and promoting events across campuses and departments. We develop a events schedule and plan at the start of the year, and then work out details and implement the events throughout the year. Past events have included In-person roundtable networking events, fireside chat with Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost, Catherine Lucey, and EVCP Executive Director, Clarice Estrada, panel discussion on Women’s Mental Health Resilience, Pelvic Health workshops, and Professional Profile Pictures at various UCSF campuses.

Frequency of meetings 

The Events team meets via zoom for 25 minutes twice a month to organize and plan for upcoming events and/or review  recent events.  The team also attends the monthly virtual meetings of the larger Women of UCSF Health Committee. Meetings occur during work hours.

Time involvement

In addition to 1-2 hours of meetings each month, tasks specific to the Events Team may require additional time that varies during the year in order to execute event-related tasks (e.g. research, attend/host events). We ask members commit to 1 year (Oct-Oct) of service that may include in person or virtual participation.

Responsibilities may include:

  • Attending the Events team meeting (25 minutes, 2x/month)
  • Emailing or otherwise reaching out to possible event guests (10 minutes)
  • Drafting event outreach materials and placing them in the Teams folder (15 minutes)
  • As possible, attend the Women of UCSF Health Committee meeting (50 minutes/month)

Team composition:

We currently have 5 members, and are seeking additional members for our Team who are willing and able to: think outside the box; acknowledge gaps in programming for women at UCSF; find ways women can connect and engage; reinstate in person events; create networking opportunities; attend online and in person events; put forth ideas for how to bring women of UCSF together; be a friendly face at events; spread the word and collaborating with other groups at UCSF.

Members can work anywhere within UCSF, including affiliates and should have bandwidth to help/attend events/meetings, have scheduling availability/flexibility (including potentially support of supervisor if needed/applicable).
