AWA Board Nominations for 2021-2022

Each year, we announce to the AWA membership that we are looking for some passionate and committed ladies to join our leadership team. The board guides the AWA throughout the year, making it the vibrant, active group it is today. We will have several exploratory leadership coffees in March 2021. (More details to come.) If you are interested in learning about what is involved in being a board member, we would love for you to come and meet current board members and learn more – no obligation! You can register for a coffee on the website in late January – keep your eyes on the AWA’s bi-monthly email. The deadline for nominations is in March 2021. The slate of officers for the Executive Board is presented to our membership for approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on Tuesday, May 4, 2021.

The Executive Board positions are as follows:
