CSWEP is present at the annual meetings of the AEA and the regional economics associations. Its associates arrange sessions for these meetings and work to ensure that women economists are adequately represented on the program. The Committee also hosts social events at these meetings where women economists can meet and exchange information.
CSWEP represents women's points of view in the committee work of the American Economic Association, monitors the progress of women within the profession, and makes an annual report to the AEA on the status of women in economics.
CSWEP was the moving force behind the establishment of a child-care program at the annual AEA meetings and, with NSF support, organized a successful mentoring program at the national and regional levels in 1998. With new funding from the NSF, CSWEP launched another mentorship initiative in 2004. The first set of workshops was held immediately after the January 2004 ASSA meetings in San Diego. There was a second set of national workshops in 2006, as well as one mentoring program at each of the regional association meetings. Beginning in January 2008, there will be a national workshop every other year at the ASSA meetings. On the off year, there will be a mentoring program at one of the regional meetings.
