Serve on the CUWFA Board

Serving on the CUWFA Board is an opportunity to help shape the future of the worklife and family field in higher education while growing your own leadership, expanding your professional network, and collaborating with colleagues from institutions across the country. Board members play an active role in advancing CUWFA's mission by contributing their expertise, serving on committees, supporting programs and initiatives, and helping create valuable resources and professional development opportunities for our members.

The CUWFA Board is comprised of up to 15 elected members, in addition to the Immediate Past President. Board members serve three-year terms, with elections held annually for approximately one-third of the Board (up to five positions each year). To encourage broad participation, cultivate new leaders, and bring fresh perspectives to the organization, Board members may serve no more than two consecutive terms. Board members are expected to actively participate in at least one committee, attend regular Board meetings, and contribute to the continued growth and success of CUWFA.
