Strategy and Resource Committee
The Strategy and Resource Committee is comprised of the Network board chair and the chairs of our fundraising Supporting Members. While this committee does not have ultimate decision-making powers, the committee is a forum for the Supporting Members to work closely together on global strategy, consistency of policy development and funding. The Committee also provides operational governance of the Global Microfinance Operations as well as advising the Network Board.
