WACUHO Executive Committee 2025-2026

Executive Committee Members serve the Association by providing overall leadership to its committees and volunteers. The eleven-person committee is composed of nine voting members and two non-voting members. All voting members of the Executive Committee are elected annually by the WACUHO membership at the Business Meeting hosted during the Annual Conference. The non-voting members help to provide guidance on specific topics and complete position-specific projects. WACUHO members of all experience levels are encouraged to run and help lead our Association into the future.
