WICR Leadership

Council Officers / Council Members

WICR Council members are invited to serve on the Council for a three-year term. A Chairperson-Elect and three new Council members are elected annually. Council members are needed who will actively participate in and contribute to WICR activities. It is essential for members to have staggered terms in order to allow participation from the WICR membership-at-large while preserving some continuity within the WICR leadership body. The terms for current Council members are listed below.
