While board members are elected to two year terms, any UK employee can become a general member of the Women's Forum. General members serve on committees and help inform and perform the work of the Forum. The work typically performed by each of the four major committees is described below:

Conference Committee
This committee shall be responsible for the planning and publicizing of this annual event and shall oversee all sub-committees.

Sarah Bennett Holmes Award Committee
This committee shall be responsible for the nomination and selection of the Sarah Bennett Holmes Award recipient and the annual award luncheon. The monetary award shall be presented to one full time regular UK female faculty employee and one full time regular UK female staff employee who meet the award eligibility criteria.

Programs Committee
This committee shall be responsible for UK Women’s Forum events beyond the Sarah Bennett Holmes award/luncheon and the UK Women’s Forum Conference. The Program Committee may have subcommittees formed relative to specific events sponsored by UK Women’s Forum. This committee shall be responsible for providing quality programs for University of Kentucky women and others and provide service projects that will both fulfill a need in the community at large and emphasize the University of Kentucky’s role in increasing the quality of life in our community.

Communications Committee
This committee shall plan, publish and distribute any print and electronic material the Board deems to be of interest to UK employees. This committee shall oversee the UK Women’s Forum web page.
