Beyond her academic endeavors, Hart has also taken on leadership roles in various committees. She served as the General Chair of PPSN 2016 and was the Track Chair at GECCO for several years. Furthermore, she was elected to the Executive Board of the ACM SIG on Evolutionary Computation and was appointed to the Steering Committee that developed Scotland's AI Strategy published in 2021.
