The AWA is governed by an operational elected board of directors who are passionate volunteers dedicated to the sport. These board members not only provide strategic oversight but are also actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the association. Together, they establish policies, oversee strategic direction, and ensure that AWA programs align with the values of fairness, inclusivity, and excellence, all while safeguarding the interests of our weightlifting community.
Our board members are elected by our membership, ensuring that the leadership of AWA truly represents the voice of our community. This democratic process allows for fresh perspectives and ideas to continually shape our organization's direction.
We aim to adhere to best practices in governance, including regular reviews of our policies and procedures, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with national standards. This commitment helps us foster a positive environment where all members can thrive.
