Legal Assistants of Wyoming Committees

Some of the committees in Legal Assistants of Wyoming are dictated by our bylaws and certain officers are automatically the chairpersons of those committees. LAW's president is an ex officio (non-voting) member of all committees except the Nominations and Elections Committee. Other committee chairpersons are appointed annually by LAW's president, or are nominated and elected by the committee members. Here is a list of our current committees, duties, chairpersons and members. If you are interested in serving on a committee, or becoming the chairperson of a currently vacant seat, please contact any member of the Board.
