The
General Federation of Women's Club Programs are separated into three
categories: Community Service Programs, Special Projects, and GFWC
Advancement Areas.
All programs, previously found
within each of the former departments, have been included in the six
Community Service Programs.
Collaboration
Chairman and Partnership Chairman:
- Collaboration:
These are programs and projects that clubs initiate independent of any
GFWC relationship, while meeting the needs of their own communities.
- On
the national level, the Community Service Program Collaboration
Chairman works to promote GFWC member-and-club-initiated projects.
She will review GFWC club-initiated comunity servide
projects,
evaluate ways of sharing project successes, communicte the outcomes,
and work to promote the Community Service program and its projects to
the GFWC membership.
- The
Collaboration Chairman will evaluate club projects that are inspired,
developed, and implemented independent of any partnership with an
outside organization.

for a list of all of the Community Service Programs and Special Project
Partners.
- Partnerships:
These are
programs and projects that a club carries out on behalf of the national
or interntional level organizations with whom GFWC has a formal
relationship, or partnership. these partners have developed
programs
specially designed for GFWC clubs. GFWC partners are selected by GFWC
on the national level for their commitment to providing
programs and
members benefits that are unique and targeted for GFWC clubs.
- On
the national level, the Community Service Program Partnership Chairman
works to promote GFWC projects implemented in partnership with national
level organizations and funders. She will review community
service projects proposed by GFW partner funders and organizations,
evaluate ways of sharing project successes, communicate outcomes, and
work to promote the Community Service Program and its projects to the
GFWC membership.
- For
each of the six Community Service Programs (Arts, Conservation,
Education, Home Life, International Outreach, and Public Issues), there
will be two national chairmen, Collaborations Chairman and Parnerships
Chairman.
- While
it is not necessary, it may be easier for states to design their state
level programs and chairment to match how GFWC has structured its
Community Service Programs by appointing a Collaborations
Chairman and Partnerships Chairman for each Community Service Program.
For
the Signature Project, Domestic Violence Awareness, and the Juniors'
Special Project, Advocacy for Children, each national chairman will
serve the duties fo the collaboration and partnership chairman.
Because
of the integral nature of the GFWC Advancement Area Projects,
Communication & Identity, Fundraising, Leadership, Membership,
and
th Women's History and Resource Center, these areas are now recognized
as core Advancement areas of any successful program. Each of
these areas will have an "advancement" section in the 2010-2012 Club
Manual.
