Executive Board

About the Board

The Executive Board is composed of five to eleven members. Board members may serve in more than one capacity.

The President and Vice President serve two-year terms beginning January 1 following the annual election. These positions are limited to two consecutive terms. The Past President position is automatically filled by the outgoing President. At present, the Past President position is vacant, as the previous President relocated to a non-WCC member state and no longer maintains WCC membership.

All other Executive Board positions are appointed for two-year terms beginning on the date of appointment and are not subject to term limits.

Individuals interested in serving in an at-large position are encouraged to contact any current board member.
