For a description of each role, please see the WESA Governing Manual (page 15).
HOW TO NOMINATE YOURSELF
Please speak with a current or former member of the Commission to explore the duties and expectations of the position you are considering. We are all volunteers and want to nurture the best possible experience for our fellow members.
Eligible WESA Members (that means everyone who has paid their membership fees, is assigned to a 2026 team as an active playing Member, or be an Associate or a Lifetime Member), may nominate themselves for any one of the above positions. All you need to do is:
- Starting Wednesday 12:00 a.m. PT, July 01, 2026, and no later than Monday 11:59 p.m. PT, August 03, 2026 , send an email, indicating for which one position you would like to run. Attention to the Electoral Officers, email to Commission (at) WESA.net
- Include a short bio (no more than 1,000 words), that we will publish online for everyone to see, explaining why you think you would be good at the position. You could also include things like the number of years you have played, skills you would bring to the role, related and or relevant experience, etc.; and
- Provide a high-resolution recent head & shoulders full face photo so even those people who are not familiar with your name, but think you are amazing, may still vote for you.
IMPORTANT: Should your bio not be received by Monday 11:59 p.m. PT, August 03, 2026, your nomination will not be included on the ballot.
QUESTIONS?
If you have any other questions about the positions, nominations or the electoral process, please contact the Electoral Officer(s) by emailing Commission (at) WESA.net. One of the 2026 Electoral Officers will respond.
