Board of Directors

Board of Directors Applications | Officers | Members

The Board of Directors is comprised of Sustaining (corporate) and WBE members of the WBCS.  As the governing body of the WBCS, board members function within the parameters of the organizational bylaws, fully promote the organization’s mission, participate in the development of operational policies and standards, attend bi-monthly board meetings, contribute financially, attend major events, support WBCS programs, and serve on at least one committee of the WBCS.  Members are elected to three-year terms.

An annual Call for Nominations is issued to the membership in July and all nominees are considered by the Nominating Committee who develop the slate to be voted on by the full membership via email ballot in October. 

As a member in good standing of the Women’s Business Council – Southwest, you may self-nominate or submit the name of another WBCS Sustaining or WBE member. All nominations must include a completed Board of Directors Application Form.
