WHY YOU SHOULD VOLUNTEER WITH THIS COMMITTEE

The Outreach Committee is the cornerstone of WABO. Without members, WABO is just an idea. This committee not only energizes and encourages the membership but facilitates the growth of new members and sponsors. The relationships that are built by being a part of WABO starts with the initial contact that is provided by the Outreach Committee. Members who participate in this committee will enjoy the accomplishment of taking WABO into the future.
