Member Association SharePoint Site

Over half of the Member Associations who participated in the MA Outreach calls express the desire for WEF to provide an interactive MA presence on the web for ongoing exchange of ideas and information.  The WEF Member Association SharePoint site has been created as a pilot program.  The goal is to make this your MA site to share information with each other by self posting news, recommendations of vendors/contracts, share MA guidelines and policies, and hold discussions.  The site is not designed to duplicate what is already on the MA Resource center.  We have posted some items and some quick links to get you started.  Access to SharePoint has been given to each MA main contact to share with whomever from their MA.  The site is self-maintained and there is one login for all to use.  Questions: Contact WEF Staff Dianne Crilley 

MA Discount on WEF Training Products

WEF now offers Member Associations a special discount on purchase of WEF technical publications and manuals of practice.  Discounted rates are based on number of items ordered and will range from 25% to 40% off of list price.  The Member Association must pay the shipping charges and purchases are non-refundable.  To order, please contact WEF Customer Service Center at 800.666.0206 or csc@wef.org.  Let us know how you like this program. 

Member Association Job Openings

Many board members have never had to face the daunting, time-consuming process involved in MA Staff transition. Hiring can represent a fresh opportunity for the board and MA Staff to clarify roles, set expectations, and build the trust and respect that are central to effective nonprofit governance.  WEF now offers to MAs the opportunity to post MA Professional Staff position openings on the WEF Job Openings site on wef.org at no cost to the MA.  The postings are listed strictly as a courtesy to WEF Member Associations for recruitment of their MA professional staff positions. The MA would be required to have a valid link on their website and must advise WEF when the link on wef.org should be removed as the position becomes filled. For more information contact dcrilley@wef.org.
