Chapters develop unique projects for attaining the organization's goals.
Some chapters meet regularly to hear members, as well as outside speakers, address topics of interest. A modest additional fee may be collected to fund these activities. GWIS is a volunteer organization that encourages its members to become actively involved to support the organizational goals. Information about these positions is available on the website on the Missions Policy and Procedure Manual page or contact the National Secretary .
