PHENOM has four committees that function as our core working groups. Get involved now!

PHENOM has four committees that help to guide our decision-making and build our organizational strategy. These committees include the Legislative Committee, the Organizing Committee, the Communications Committee, and the Fundraising Committee. 

Each committee is chaired by up to four elected co-chairs who sit on PHENOM’s board. In addition to the co-chairs, PHENOM Members and Member Organizers can join any of the committees.
