Annual Meeting Planning Committee Team
This meeting wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteer planning team! Many of these people have been volunteering as TWS-WS leaders for decades. And this year we have many new volunteers joining us as well. We thank everyone for their amazing service to the Western Section.
AND — We hope you will consider joining us! See below for open positions. Help is always needed, and we think it is quite satisfying and fun to be part of the Annual Meeting planning team – Email: projectmanager@tws-west.org for more information.
