As a volunteer run organization the BWLA Association relies on its members to volunteer their time and expertise. If everyone pitches in the entire community benefits.
There are multitudes of ways to contribute from participating on a committee to serving on the Board. Your participation is encouraged and valued!
Our thanks to the members who have served in governance over the years.
