Committee Descriptions

There are many opportunities to get involved in RWA.  We leave it up to each member to determine her own desired level of involvement.

RWA Standing Committees: Fund Raising, Communications, Membership, Activities, Vision Screening, and Scholarship.

A member must have been an Active member of the Association for at least one (1) year before she is eligible to serve as an Officer of the Association. New members (defined as an individual holding active membership for less than one (1) full year) may hold a co-chair position on a committee provided the committee is chaired by an active member.
