WSIA Board of Directors
In 2019, the WSIA Board of Directors formalized a strategy to guide the development of a pipeline of candidates for consideration as future Board members. With this framework, the Board of Directors intends to develop a strong, broad pool of candidates that is representative of the diverse WSIA membership. It also strives to promote transparency around the Nominating Committee and Board selection process and provide members with a better understanding of the selection criteria and expectations of WSIA Board members. You can learn more about the strategy and framework here.
