MAKE NEW FRIENDS & MAKE A LASTING IMPACT
One of the best investments you can make for yourself is to join a committee. All committees meet remotely via Zoom unless otherwise noted. Volunteering is the quickest way to accelerate your networking and make an impact. All committees and task forces are asked to 1) contribute their unique resources and expertise to advance WSAE strategic goals; 2) adopt a diversity lens that becomes embedded in thought processes; 3) find your greatness.

1) Increase membership by 10% by June 2024 for a new goal of 210 total members.

3) Increase WSAE education revenue overall and be intentional about association leadership programming.
