PNCWA Regions & Sections
PNCWA’s Regions and their respective Sections are independent entities with their own governance structures, all officially recognized and chartered by PNCWA. There are four Regions—Idaho, Oregon, Eastern Washington, and Western Washington—which serve as the connection between the sections and the PNCWA Board of Directors. Each region is represented by a Regional Director who sits on the PNCWA Board.
Within these regions, local PNCWA sections have actively engaged members and offer training, networking opportunities, and resources tailored to meet the specific needs and interests of their area. Learn more about Regions and Sections.
