WQA Sections provide opportunities for members of a particular membership segment to meet with peers to provide input and share their expertise. Sections refer issues for attention to the WQA Board of Governors and staff and provide semi-annual reports to the Board of Governors.
Typically convening twice a year, sections are focused on issues of particular interest to that segment of membership, although they are open to all WQA members to participate. Many members will find they fit in more than one section. Joint section meetings are opportunities for different segments to share ideas, understand different points of view and work together to support and uplift the entire industry.
