A special election has been called to fill four vacancies on the Board of Directors. Nominations close at noon on April 10. Voting will run April 14 through 25.
Please join us in congratulating the two new UWSA directors elected at today’s special meeting, Angela Rooke and Tim Ireland. Thank you to all four candidates for your willingness to step into this important role.
The UWSA Board of Directors now has quorum again and will meet next week to discuss next steps for filling the remaining vacancies; we expect to announce an election soon.
There will be a Special Meeting of the UWSA membership at noon on Thursday, March 20, 2025, to elect two directors to restore quorum to the Board.

We're currently collecting submissions from Gen Z staff.
