WAICU-affiliated boards are formal governing bodies that set policies, manage costs, and oversee compliance for the entity. Board members are the WAICU member presidents or their designees as appropriate.
A WAICU affinity group is identified by organizational function and provides a way for WAICU-member college and university colleagues to network, share ideas and best practices, seek advice, and gain professional development. Most affinity groups meet on a frequency determined by the group, which may be monthly to annually, although there are some where meetings are not typical. WAICU staff liaisons facilitate meetings and promote communication. Each affinity group has a WAICU Connect for digital communication unless otherwise indicated.
A WAICU advisory committee (may be known as a council, task force or work group) meets as needed for the purpose of advising WAICU staff on direction and content for specific programs and/or initiatives.
