SWG Board and Committees

The Board meets via Zoom 8-9 months a year on the 3rd Thursday of the month. To scout for positions that might interest you, see the full list of Job Descriptions for Board Members and Subcommittee Chairs. If you are interested in any of these roles, you may wish to work with a sitting Committee Chair as the Assistant Chair, in order to learn the responsibilities and rhythms of the job.

Elected Officers manage the affairs of the Guild. Each year, a nominating committee that is independent of the Board recruits a slate of nominees to run for election at the April general meeting. The Officer Slate includes 1st Vice President, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, and Corresponding Secretary.
Current Openings: Member at Large, to be nominated from the floor at the April 2024 meeting. The Officer Slate is full.
