CAUCUSES have a long history in NWSA, beginning with the founding conference in 1977; they reflect the desire of some NWSA members to affiliate in subgroups, which reflects our diversity of identities. According to the 1999 revised Constitution and Bylaws, Caucuses are designated groups that are under-represented within society or NWSA as an organization. NWSA has acted from the beginning on the belief that members whose identities, voices, and points of view may be numerically under-represented within NWSA might not find an organizational base or be able to make themselves heard without caucus representation. Caucuses are encouraged to maintain year-long contact among their members. At a minimum, they meet yearly at the national conference. Each caucus elects a representative to the Constituency Council which meets annually at the national conference. Contact: Join a Discussion: NWSA Caucuses:
TASKFORCES are oriented toward an issue or problem that can be solved through action. Contact: Join a Discussion: NWSA Taskforces:
AREA INTEREST GROUPS are oriented toward those who wish to meet around a common scholarly interest. Area Interest Groups accomplish their goals primarily through the development of regular conference programming. Currently active caucuses, task forces, area interest groups, and any groups that specifically asked for time to discuss formalizing an area interest group or task force have scheduled meetings at this conference.
