The current women's committee is:
Sally Cannon, Alize Clough, Tina Collier, Natalie Kruse, Aura Mackenzie, Felix Shardlow, Gemma Taylor, Cat Vaughn
The Role of The Women's Committee (non-exhaustive):
a. To be the communication group between Women in the UK and the UKUA Board. If there are any concerns, such as with the Tour format, or anything at all, these should be directed to the WC - who will then either be able to deal with the matter themselves, or refer it to the UKUA Board. The WC will be responsible for promoting the standard of Women's tournaments within the UK.
b. To focus on recruiting more women's teams for the Women's Tour.
c. To focus on supporting women's teams throughout the UK to recruit women.
d. Encouraging contacts between established women's clubs and universities. Coordinating, or requesting information from clubs that do have such contacts, so that other areas of the country may benefit from the knowledge of how best to make this development aim work.
e. To encourage skills days, with the aim of making sure that they happen, and encouraging established teams to run skills days within their region.
f. To encourage All-Stars events to fit the needs of the Women's UK Ultimate Community. The WC will not be responsible for organizing the actual events, this will be the role of teams / other members of the Women's UK Ultimate Community.
g. To encourage other non-tour events, eg. hat tournaments - helping to identify where such events may be of use to teams, and suggesting that they happen.
h. Responsibility to ensure that these days are advertised effectively to all teams throughout the UK.
i. To co-ordinate with the NPAC to encourage women's teams to run alongside established men's teams.
j. To think about introducing the intern program into the WC.
k. To co-ordinate and encourage what is happening in different regions - so that the development of UK women is known - and if one region is e.g. found to be lacking in 'development events', attention can be focused there. In addition, this will help to build a central knowledge of women's development initiatives.
l. To liaise with other European teams and facilitate the European Club Series when it takes off. Getting foreign teams to the UK for tournaments and advertising foreign tournaments for teams/players to go to (or ensuring the UKUA does).
m. Reviewing the Women's Tour rules yearly and updating as appropriate.
n. Coordinating with the DoC for Women's Tour schedules.
o. Keeping the Women's section of the UKUA website updated and useful for members.
p. Working out ways of developing the Women's game in the UK. That may involve requesting feedback from Women in the UK.
q. Responsibility for ensuring those plans are implemented and developed.
