Membership Committee

The Membership Committee is dedicated to expanding the reach and diversity of the Skin of Color Society's membership, focusing on attracting new members and fostering growth, particularly among Fellow members. The committee is actively exploring innovative strategies to grow membership by collaborating with national dermatology groups and developing international recruitment programs. These initiatives aim to engage a broader audience, extending the Society’s reach and fostering a more diverse and inclusive community. Through these efforts, the committee seeks to build a vibrant membership base, ultimately strengthening the Society’s presence and expanding its impact on the dermatology field. The committee also plays a key role in reviewing and vetting membership applications, recommending them to the Board for approval. 

In addition to its core responsibilities, the committee is dedicated to enhancing member benefits to ensure a rewarding experience. This focus aims to attract new members while fostering retention among existing ones, ultimately cultivating a more engaged and committed membership base. To further support this goal, the committee will oversee the Regional Networking & Educational Symposia series, facilitating opportunities for member recruitment, professional development, knowledge-sharing, and networking within the community. The committee will also make recommendations to the Executive Committee regarding participation in staff-led exhibiting opportunities where member recruitment can be actively pursued. These efforts are designed to strengthen member involvement and ensure the ongoing growth and success of the organization.
