LWEA Leaders and Staff

The officers of the Association are the President and Vice President and each serve a term of three years. These two officers and the seven elected representatives from different categories of membership comprise the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee meets monthly and assists in the preparation of the budget, sets priorities and goals, develops programs and activities, and serves in an advisory capacity to the Association president. However, all LWEA policy is set by the Representative Assembly.

LWEA’s President receives a paid leave of absence allowing him or her to direct the organization full time. The President works in the LWEA office along with a staff of three - one UniServ Rep, one Office Manager and one Field Assistant.
