How to/steps (in that order):
- Form outreach subgroup. Volunteers are:
- Marie G - Subcommittee point person

- AC (health outreach and outreach to men)
do mapping with help from orgs who already have lists
* lambi fund for women
* global fund
* Marie's email list
* Huairou
* Foundations/funders of women's groups in HaitiLeonie, AC and Taina will be in Haiti next week and will meet in person with some women leaders and possibly share Shadow Report recommendations in French
Strategize extensively about how to approach each group in committee and in wider group.
* It's important for us to recognize that groups don't necessarily work together b/c they are women's groups.
* There are subnetworks according to politics/party/ideological affiliation.
* Reach out to funders of women's groups as an introduction to them
* Subdivide in sectors such as health
* Political outreach to women's groups in the US will be next priority after outreach to the priority list above.
AC TRIP to Haiti
