Working Committees

Dive in and be a catalyst for change with our working committees!

Are you keen on leveraging your skills, devising tangible solutions for societal challenges, and connecting with like-minded activists? Our working committees are the perfect avenue and await your contribution!

Each committee boasts the autonomy to shape its initiatives and set its meeting cadence. This flexibility allows you to engage on your terms, seamlessly balancing your personal, professional, and committee duties.

Annually, the co-leaders for each committee are chosen during the General Assembly. These co-leaders bridge the gap between the core team and the Board of Directors. Remember, any FFQ member can hop onto a committee at any point during the year.

Intrigued? We’re excited at the prospect of collaborating with you! Now, it’s your turn to decide which committee gets the privilege of your membership.

General Assemblies

Twice a year, the Fédération des femmes du Québec (FFQ) holds General Assemblies (GAs) to foster open dialogue and ensure every member’s voice is heard.

Our Annual General Assembly, typically scheduled for late May, serves as a reflection point. We assess our annual progress, celebrate our achievements, and map out the future. It’s during this assembly that we elect the dynamic women for our Board of Directors — individuals who’ll be shaping FFQ’s strategic decisions. Your attendance and vote at this gathering are pivotal, ensuring that the FFQ remains diverse and representative of all voices.

Our winter GA is a platform dedicated to political positioning, a space where members converge to deliberate on contemporary challenges to women’s rights. Through these vibrant discussions, you have the chance to influence our stance on pivotal matters. As a member of FFQ, your insights help determine our organization’s direction and priorities. Your voice is not just heard; it’s vital in advancing the cause of gender equality.

Beyond their procedural significance, these assemblies are also unique networking opportunities. Engage with other passionate women, establish connections, share insights, and collectively reinforce the feminist movement. When we collaborate, our collective voice resonates more powerfully through society.

Ready to be part of this movement? Become an FFQ member today or subscribe to our newsletter to get timely notifications about upcoming GA registrations. Your dedication is our strength, the bedrock on which we continue championing women’s rights and equality.
