The OWCA hosts yearly elections for Officer positions on the Executive Board. You can learn about current OWCA Executive Board members here.

Anyone can apply for an Officer position, including not-yet OWCA members. We especially welcome and encourage people who identify as Queer/LGBTQ+, BI/POC, Indigenous, Disabled, Neurodivergent, or an otherwise marginalized identity to apply.

Those elected will need to be or become OWCA members to accept the position and serve their terms. Students and professionals who identify as people of color can become OWCA members at no charge.


Open Executive Board Positions

Serving on the OWCA Executive Board offers an ideal opportunity to develop administrative skills, pursue professional development, and give back to the writing center community in a supportive environment. We provide mentorship to all new board members.
