The RDRWA’s Board of Directors is a multi-sector Board with representatives from different sectors and groups. Directors are elected by the RDRWA membership each year at the RDRWA’s Annual General Meeting and serve a two-year term.
Board positions are organized into six categories/sectors. Each year, individuals and organizations nominate someone from their sector to bring that perspective to the RDRWA Board of Directors. The nomination forms for eligible Board of Director positions are available in early Spring. Members are encouraged to seek election to the Board of Directors.
