USBC Committees

Picture
USBC committee members are among the organization's most important assets in advancing the mission and fulfilling the vision of the organization. Committees represent, involve, and serve member organizations, and they offer valuable insights into USBC work. All committees function in an advisory capacity and do not have the authority to act on behalf of the Board of Directors.

Interested in joining a USBC committee? Fill out the Committee Service Interest Form and our team will reach out when a committee has an opening. Learn about the different committees below and email [email protected] with questions.

​Standing Committees of the USBC


To serve on the following committees, one must be a representative of an organizational member of the USBC:

Membership Engagement Committee

Picture
The Membership Engagement Committee (MEC) provides advice to the USBC Board of Directors on new member outreach, recruitment, application (initial and renewal), orientation, and engagement. Since the membership expansion to include more types of organizations, this committee has been crucial in moving applications forward and recruiting new member organizations. ​

Nominating Committee

Picture
The Nominating Committee (NC) carries out the procedures for the nomination of candidates for election to the Board of Directors (BoD). The NC works to select the best candidates to be considered for the application slate, and oversees an equitable process.

​Additional Committees of the USBC


The following committees do not require USBC organizational membership to serve:

Awards Committee

Picture
​The Awards Committee (AC) advises on the establishment and operation of USBC awards and scholarships, particularly awards at the National Breastfeeding Conference & Convening (NBCC). The committee works with USBC staff to plan and facilitate award and scholarship programs that align with the USBC mission, values, and strategic goals.

Conference Program Committee

Picture
The Conference Program Committee (CPC) advises on planning the program and educational content for the National Breastfeeding Conference and Convening (NBCC), hosted by the USBC to enhance the capacity of the field to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. This committee also sets the stage for conference-related networking and collaboration among event attendees.

CRASH Committee

Picture
The CRASH Committee, which stands for consider Culture, show Respect, Assess/Affirm differences, show Sensitivity and Self-awareness, and do it all with Humility (CRASH), is the USBC equity committee. CRASH enhances USBC governance, membership, personnel, and coalitions' ability to build structures, systems, and a culture of inclusiveness and mutual support for all peoples. Committee members may also serve as liaisons to other committees to promote CRASH recommendations throughout the USBC ecosystem.

Fabulous Fundraising Committee

Picture
        The Fabulous Fundraising Committee (FFC) is our new fundraising committee! This committee consists of                      individuals who feel enthusiastic about fundraising for the USBC, and have the connections and capacity to help              advance our reserves of unrestricted funds, necessary to support USBC advocacy efforts.

Finance and Audit Committee

Picture
The Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) provides oversight for the budget, accounting procedures, and financial position of the organization, to ensure the integrity of financial functions. This is foundational to enabling USBC to support the field and our collective priorities. If you are interested in learning more about how finances are necessary in moving our work forward, consider applying to serve on this committee.
