Join one of our committees

Share your expertise and/or learn new skills while networking with your colleagues by joining a GMN Committee. EVERYONE is welcome and encouraged to participate; any GMN member may serve. Your work for the committee can be as heavy or light as your schedule permits. Committees will generally meet by phone so no travel is required.

Executive Committee	Karin Bishop - Co-Chair Kyle Reis - Co-Chair	Adin Miller - Treasurer Ignacio Estrada - Secretary


Best Practices Committee BPOC monitors developments in the field and proposes updates to the Council on Foundations publication "Best Practices in Grants Management" and topics to explore through white papers or other publications for print or online media. The committee then serves a drafting and editorial function in developing content for broader dissemination. BPOC explores opportunities for the professional development of individuals in the grants management field. Under the GMN strategic plan, the committee is tasked with investigating alternatives for creating a grants management certification process that would likely have Best Practices in Grants Management as a core text.
