The 'Official' job description of a Board member can be found at WDCR Bylaws. For a more in-depth description of the Board's responsibilities, see Article V. Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7PM and usually over by 9:00-9:30. An additional 2-3 hours a week is spent on Region business outside of the meetings. It's a unique opportunity to be involved in the operation of one of the largest Regions in SCCA.

The Election Committee has identified a few nominees who have agreed to run for a position; they are Kevin Rychlik, Scott Merker, and Janet Mocati. Incumbents whose terms are expiring and are running for re-election are Wayne Armbrust and Shawn Roberts. Alan Olson is not seeking re-election. More information about each of the candidates will be sent in the coming weeks and will also be available on our website soon.
