Meet Our Committees

Volunteer award committee members provide essential support to the WAWH. Award committee members typically serve three-year terms. In their third and last year, the committee member serves as chairperson and is a member of the Executive Board. 


Bolded names below denote chairperson & member of the Executive Board. 


Executive Board members are not eligible to apply for awards during their year as head of the committee. Non-board committee members are eligible to apply for all awards except for the one in which they currently serve as judge.
