Activities and Programs
Our Femmy Awards Committee is responsible for the most prestigious event of the Intimate Apparel Industry — the annual Femmy Gala held in recognition of outstanding executives for exceptional achievements. Proceeds from this event provide the primary funding for the Club's extensive scholarship, awards, internship and grants (SAIG) programs.
Our SAIG Committee has evolved into a proactive group of volunteers who interact with and monitor the progress of scholarship recipients, coordinate industry participation in educational seminars for students, support intimate apparel education on the high school and college levels, and actively pursue an intimate apparel internship program in the New York area.
Our Program Committee develops informative seminars featuring guest speakers and panelists from the industry and related fields. Held at frequent intervals, these meetings are designed to stimulate and entertain, as well as provide opportunities for career networking. The committee also offers such fun get-togethers as the annual Holiday Party where, in the spirit of the season, clothes and toys are generously donated to the New York Foundling Home.
Through our Charity Committee, meaningful cash donations are made in support of many worthy causes that are industry-related and/or humanitarian in nature.
Our Website Committee is responsible for the Club's website and all social media. Current events, membership and Club information are available online, and the committee is developing new services and information opportunities for the intimate apparel community.
