WMEA officers are elected by members for two-year terms in February of even-numbered years. Their responsibilities include creating policies, developing budgets, planning state conferences, and the hiring and oversight of the executive manager.
The board email addresses below with “@wmea.org” are not functioning. We are in the process of updating and revising our communications. This page will be updated after the conference. If you need to connect with any board member contact scott.ketron@wmea.org who will put you in touch with a board member.
