Become a Coordinating Collective (CC) Member: CC members are essentially the VSW Board of Directors. All CC members are given equal vote in dealing with internal issues regarding policy, fundraising, the Women's Centre, special projects and finances. To become a part of the CC, a member of VSW must be nominated and voted into the position at our Annual General Meeting. CC members are expected to attend regular monthly meetings as well as sit on VSW committees.
