Board Seeks Volunteers, Nominations for Honorary Membership

The WFOA Board has worked very hard to ensure we provide many opportunities for the membership to volunteer and grow within our association. Please consider serving as a volunteer on any of our committees. Active throughout the year, the committees are working to provide exceptional services to benefit all finance officers in the state of Washington. These services are key to the success of our members by providing the tools to be outstanding leaders in our profession. You can join a committee at any time! Please visit our committee page to learn more about the standing committees and their missions: Committee Information
