If you want to be part of the fun, contact the MAWA office.

Policy Review Committee
The Policy Review Committee monitors MAWA's by-laws and policies to ensure they are clear and effective. We may be called upon to formulate new policy for presentation to the board. If you are someone who enjoys thinking in 3D, looking at all the angles, has Board Governance experience, and would like to contribute to MAWA's stability and longevity, consider joining us! Contact the MAWA office.

Programming Committee
This Committee generally meets four times annually to review programming in the upcoming year. The Committee considers new programs and brainstorms how to make existing programs even better. Recommendations made by the Committee are brought to the MAWA Board of Directors for approval. This is an ad hoc committee made up of board and MAWA members. MAWA members wishing to participate in a Programming Committee meeting are invited to contact the office.
