Join a Committee

Joining a committee is a great way to build leadership experience and help guide the future of WDS. A variety of committee opportunities are available. Committees meet virtually by conference call a few times a year, work via email between calls, and meet in-person at the Annual Meeting, if possible.

Submit a Committee Interest Form. Please note, the WDS Board of Directors is working to realign priorities with committee volunteer opportunities. We anticipate the new organizational structure being approved in early December 2025. All WDS members will be notified when the committee interest form opens shortly thereafter.

Committee Appointment Process

Committee assignments will be made by the incoming President each January. Committee members will be notified of their appointments and assume their term immediately following the Annual Meeting. Additional submissions that are received after the deadline will be held for consideration in the following year.
