Board of Directors
Whidbey Island Water Systems Association is governed by a nine member volunteer board who also handle all the staff duties for the organization. The board includes members from Group A and municipal systems, water districts, Group B systems, service providers and water systems engineering.
Each director serves a 3-year term, offset so that three board positions are up for vote by the members each year. Director elections occur during the December Member’s Meeting but open board positions can be filled by the Board until the next annual meeting is held.
