About/Contacts

Each year during the Annual Conference, KRWW participants elect a board of 12-15 members to oversee the organization's activities for the coming year. KRWW is lucky to have a great group of dedicated, experienced people working together to continue carrying out our mission. If you are interested in serving as a board member, let one of us know and we'll put you on the nomination list for next year!
