CWHC Working Groups

Our Board is comprised of four working groups that our community self-selects to participate in. Working Group Chairs serve on one working group and Board Directors serve on two working groups. This is the current allocation starting January 2025. The Board meets ten months of the year with August and December as holiday months.
Our Board is actively engaged in the work of preserving Chicago Women’s History working on documentaries, conducting Oral History interviews and organizing programs.
