Learn more about the WEA Board of Directors, WEA Committees and leadership team

WEA is a member-driven, democratically governed organization and the annual Representative Assembly (RA) is its chief policy making body. Once a year, local associations select more than 1,000 WEA members to gather for RA.

The duty of the WEA Board is to carry out the program and policies set at the annual WEA Representative Assembly and to exercise the general authority of the Representative Assembly between its annual meetings. 

The WEA has more than a dozen committees dedicated to completing work outlined by the Representative Assembly, the WEA Board, or the WEA Executive Committee.

The WEA President and Vice President work closely with the Executive Director and WEA Management Team.

WEA's core governing principles are spelled out in our constitution, bylaws, and continuing resolutions. These key documents are debated and reviewed annually by the Representative Assembly. Go here to review minutes from previous WEA Board meetings.
