Standing committees and working groups are groups of members who do projects around a certain topic. Standing committees have formally submitted a committee charter and been approved by Pittsburgh DSA membership to elect leaders. Working groups are more informal. Some working groups are sub-groups of committees, some are stand-alone groups that may one day formalize into committees.
Members can easily get together to form a new working group or standing committee if they want to organize around a topic we do not currently have. More information on forming a standing committee can be found in the bylaws.
The Coordinating Committee is the elected group of leaders who do administration and leadership of the whole chapter. Information on what types of tasks the Coordinating Committee does can be found on this page.
