MEMBER COMMITTEES
GET INVOLVED!
Member Committees exist to offer direction for operationalizing WFU policy, and provide additional support for programming, direction, and strategy. The committees are also helpful spaces for members to hear from and give updates to WFU staff and other chapters of topics of interest. Each committee has a specific area of focus and meets about once per month - learn more below!
