Meet our Board of Directors

We are lucky to have board members volunteering their time and experience to organize creative events while continuing to find ways to support our community. Comprised of new or returning YPWA members, this crew partners to craft excellent seasons year after year.

Towards the end of each season, we have an election where YPWA members get to vote for area women that want to step into available board member officer roles. Below are our 22-23 board officers!
