The Governance Committee plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity and operational framework of the Skin of Color Society (SOCS) and the SOCS Foundation (SOCSF). This committee is responsible for overseeing the organization's bylaws to ensure they remain relevant and aligned with the mission and evolving needs of  SOCS and SOCSF. Additionally, it develops and reviews policies, providing well-researched recommendations to the board for approval, ensuring that these policies promote effective and ethical operations. It ensures transparency and accountability in decision-making processes and supports compliance with legal, regulatory, and ethical standards.
