Committee - Lifestyles
Overview
The mission of the Lifestyles Committee is to create events that address lifestyle and personal issues for members, such as health and fitness, leisure, arts and culture, life stage and financial planning and family/parenting.
The Committee also provides an opportunity for its members to build new relationships with other FWA members through committee work and our committee’s holiday party and June end-of-FWA year dinner. Another goal is to help develop and prepare qualified committee members to move into FWA Board positions.
