Member Handbook > Board of Directors/Committees
In
order for a contractor to realize the full value of their association
membership, the WECA Board strongly encourages each new WECA
member to have a company representative (owner or key employee) attend
at least one Association event, committee meeting or Board/ATC meeting
within the first year of membership, either in person, conference call
or via video conference*. Member contractors are also strongly
encouraged to volunteer their time or a company representative's time
for continued participation in such meetings and events beyond the first
year of membership in order to provide guidance and direction into the
support and progress of the association. For information on ways to
participate in Association activities, contact the Marketing &
Communications Director at (877) 444-9322, ext. 122.
*Contact the WECA
office to inquire about utilizing the video conference system.
