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.

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 2025 meeting. The Nominating Committee will begin interviewing candidates in January 2025.
