Meet the Board
The Executive Officers and Board of Directors are the decision making body of WAM. They meet regularly to discuss the details of events; conduct the business of WAM; decide where to direct the educational, informational, and fundraising efforts; and present ideas to the membership for vote. Any member is eligible to run for office.

The Board of Directors hold their offices for one calendar year. The duties and activities of each officer may vary somewhat depending on her skills and interests as well as the needs of WAM.
