Governance & Officers

Current Board Officers

Serving on the SoCal WCA board is not an enormous time commitment, and it has real advantages, for the organization and for the board officers. Certainly, this organization could not persist without dedicated board officers to keep it functioning. Board membership can also be a boon to you on your campus and in the wider writing center community. 

Contact any of the officers to learn more about what their position entails. We are also always searching for members to help review proposals and mentor students for the annual tutor conference.
