CWAE Elections

Cheryl Brown and Leonie Marks are now completing their term on the CWAE Board. We send our special thanks for all of their efforts!

Congratulations to our two new CWAE Board members: The two new Members-at-Large are Madhu Khanna, University of Illinois, and Donna Theresa Ramirez Harrington, University of Guelph.

The Board manages the affairs and activities of CWAE. The Board consists of eight members: the current Chair, the past Chair, the Vice-Chair, four Members-at-large, all elected from the membership, and a representative of the AAEA Board.

The four at-large members serve two-year terms that begin on September 1st of the year they are elected. Two at-large members are elected each year so that the terms are staggered.
