WAWSL Board

WAWSL Board of Directors

WAWSL is run by a volunteer board of directors. The WAWSL Board generally holds two meetings per season. The meetings are open to all members of the league. Those in attendance are encouraged to participate in discussion at the meeting. However, only board members can vote on motions made. WAWSL also holds a general team representative meeting prior to each season. Each team is required to send at least one representative to these meetings and has one vote on motions made at the meeting. Click here to read minutes from past meetings.
