About WAEE
Elections
The statewide membership of WAEE elects three new members to
its 11-person board each autumn. Board members each serve a
three-year term. WAEE's board coordinates all activities of the
organization and provide energetic and forward-looking
leadership to its membership.
Board candidates are either self-nominated or invited by others
to run for election. Each prepares an autobiographical statement
describing relevant background, qualifications, WAEE experience,
and goals for the organization. Ballots containing these
statements are mailed to all members and the three candidates
who win the most votes are elected. Two student board members
from different Wisconsin college or university campuses are
elected each year by a similar process and serve one-year terms.
Board meetings are held six times per year, two in conjunction
with the annual conference and winter workshop.
