Leadership

The WWGA is overseen by an 11 member Board of WWGA members elected by their peers during the WWGA’s Annual Convention. Members of the Executive Board must be active members in good standing of the Association. The Executive Board manages the affairs of the Association including the hiring and fixing of salaries of employees, offering awards, auditing accounts and any other appropriate business of the Organization. The day-to-day affairs of the Association are overseen by the Executive Committee, which is comprised of the President, the President-elect, and the Vice President.
