The WAMA board of directors has been pursuing a number of initiatives to become more connected to our WAMA membership. Most recently we assigned each member to a board member representative. If you have questions about WAMA your board member representative would be a good person to contact. We want you to know more about what’s going on in the WAMA boardroom. We also have published our bylaws on our new website. Monthly minutes will also be available for members to review.
Here are a few of the accomplishments made by the 2012-13, WAMA Board of Directors thus far this year. Let’s keep in touch.
