This meeeting wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteer planning team! Many of these people have been volunteering as TWS-WS leaders for decades. And this year we have many new volunteers joining us. We thank everyone for their amazing service to the Western Section.
And, consider joining us! It is not too late to join us this year. See below for open positions. Help is always needed, and we think it is quite satisfying and fun to be part of the Annual Meeting planning team – Email: projectmanager@tws-west.org for more information.
