Volunteer Committees
WMFHA is a volunteer-driven association. Our success comes from the great work of our many volunteer committee members.
Get Involved
You can help keep WMFHA vibrant, relevant and involved! Serving on one of our volunteer committees is a great way to network with other multifamily professionals, increase your exposure, utilize your skills, give back to the industry, have fun, and build relationships. Find your passion and join a committee today!
If you would like to assess one of our committees to see if it is a good fit for you, email the chairperson or the WMFHA Liaison and they will invite you to the next meeting.
