The Intersectional Council Steering Committee (ISC-SC) has fourteen members and conducts ISC activities between the Annual Meetings. The 14 members consist of 10 members elected by the Intersectional Council, plus the ISC-SC immediate past chair. In addition, one Steering Committee position is appointed for a three-year term by the Executive Board as part of the leadership appointment process. There is also a student representative who holds the position of the Student Assembly Chair-Elect, an Affiliate representative who is the Council of Affiliates Chair-Elect, and a Caucus representative who is the Caucus Collaborative Chair.
This group meets face-to-face twice a year and meets monthly via Zoom. Only ISC members are eligible to run for a three-year term on the Steering Committee. These include Section Chairs, Chairs-Elect and Immediate Past Chairs. Three new ISC-SC members are elected annually.
The Steering Committee assists Sections with internal management and communication. The ISC-SC also reviews and comments on applications for SPIGs and Forums and submits comments to the Executive Board.
