About WCASA
WCASA Board of Directors
The Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault is a non-profit agency guided by a Board of Directors comprised of representatives from the six service regions across the state. It consists of a minimum number of 9 seats and a maximum number of 19 seats.
Currently the WCASA Bylaws require that a simple majority of seats shall be filled by representatives of Sexual Assault Service Providers (SASPs). In 2010 the Board changed the Governing Policies to include a provision that half of the Board be from underserved populations. Two Survivor seats have also been added in the last couple of years. (See below for more information about the Survivor seats.)
