Why is this a problem?
Committee members often require mentoring and training in order to participate effectively. Challenges include:
- Long, confusing, or overwhelming getting started guides.
- No guidance for navigating the volume of information and resources.
- Lack of mentoring and peer support for committee work.
- Little or no training on collaboration, teamwork, or technical processes.
- Limited awareness or guidance on accessibility, equity, and inclusive participation.
- No clear pathway to develop skills for becoming a chairperson or leading working groups.
