We have created a centralized spot for applicants who wish to serve on WIFA's Board and hope that qualified individuals across this state will apply."

Applicants must have resided in the state for at least two years, as well as substantial knowledge of and experience with water or finance, including public finance, among other qualifications. All applicants must submit a set of fingerprints for the purpose of obtaining a state and federal criminal background check.
