About WBAI

Committees

Committee List

The WBAI is a team of women who together can host networking events, develop mentoring opportunties, coordinate educational programs, publish a newsletter, organize volunteer opportunities within the community, screen our judiciary, and serve as an influential voice that promotes and lobbies the interests of all women. One person alone can not accomplish these significant tasks which is why the WBAI places a great amount of weight on recruiting new and current members to become active in any one of our 29 committees.
