Did you know we have a group of Milwaukee Region SCCA members that manage the affairs of the Region?  These 9 to 12 elected members make up our Board of Directors (BOD).  Some of their duties include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • supporting and reviewing each of the Region’s programs

We are a volunteer organization and depend on our members to host and manage our events, if you enjoy what we do, we would ask to you to consider giving your time to make sure they continue.  We are always looking for people to join the Board of Directors, if you are interested please contact the Election Committee.
