DISTRICTS: WRPA is comprised of six in state districts and everyone located out of state is assigned to the seventh district. District representatives help ensure WRPA is aware of and addressing ideas and issues statewide. District representatives serve on our awards committee, the public relations committee, and our membership committee.
SECTIONS: WRPA is comprised of seven sections which enable our members to belong to specialized groups. Sections are special interest groups within our membership.
Membership in WRPA includes one complimentary section affiliation. Each section has a specific set of bylaws and operate in cooperation with the WRPA board. Most sections offer regular meetings throughout the year for networking and planning purposes. As a section member you can expect invitations to regular meetings of the section as well as opportunities to attend addition training in your area of expertise.
