Meet the
board
WMACSA has no corporate parent and no outside agenda. The people who set our direction are the safety professionals who spend their days on job sites across the DMV, and their evenings volunteering to keep this organization running.
Members in good standing elect the Board of Directors. If you're a member, you have a say in who sits on this page.
