Board of Directors

As a volunteer organization, WKREDA is governed by a 12-member Board of Directors who meets quarterly to coordinate the activities of the alliance. Each board member is elected to serve three-year terms, but is limited to two consecutive terms. One-half of the Board's members represent northwest Kansas and the other half represents southwest Kansas. (see map)
