The purpose of the PIAA Committee on Gender and Minority Equity is to increase opportunities for women and members of minority groups for involvement in the various aspects of interscholastic athletics.

PIAA will act directly in those areas under its control, including the registration of Contest officials and the retention of Contest management and administrative personnel, and will act in a recommendatory capacity as to those persons and positions under the control of PIAA-member schools, such as student-athletes, coaches, and athletic administrators.

The PIAA Board of Directors in consultation with the Chairmen of the PIAA District Committees shall select the members of the committee.  The committee shall meet at the call of the Executive Director of PIAA.
