Composition of the Filipina Summit's Steering Committee:
- The Steering Committee will be doing the pre-planning work to convene the Filipina Leadership Summit.
- Ideally, each committee member should represent one of FWN's identified stakeholder groups and chair a Summit Task Force. This makes it easier to identify other stakeholders for the Summit.
- A stakeholder is a person who:
- May be affected by the outcome of the Filipina Leadership Summit.
- Might have an impact on the task/issue, be able to move it forward or hold it back.
- Has resources that might be available to support the outcome.
- Has information that will be important to the task/issue that will be undertaken in the success of the Filipina Leadership Summit.
- The Committee will identify and invite a broad cross-section of issues important to Filipina women and the stakholders critical to the success of the Filipina Leadership Summit. (If we don't assemble an unusual group, one that makes us a little anxious and excited, it's probably not the ideal group.) The Filipina Leadership Summit should be an event different from the usual.
- Our goal is to have a minimum of two representatives from each stakeholder group represented (maximum of 26 stakeholder members) aside from sponsors and other interested parties.
- FWN's identified stakeholder groups are:
- Fortune 1000 Organizations That Have Large Filipino Employee Populations: Representatitves from the Diversity, Human Resources, Organizational Development Departments
- Youth Leaders and Young Filipino Professionals
- Government Leaders and Elected Officials - U. S. and the Philippines
- Filipino Associations - Board Members
- Learning Institutions
- Media and Labor Sectors
- Public & Private Funders & Lenders
- Community Leaders
- Business Owners, Chambers & Trade Groups
- Faith-based Organizations
- Nonprofit Organizations
- Overseas Professional Filipina Workers in the U.S. (OFWs)
- New U.S. citizens
