UWB Leaders
UWB Leaders is a student government program composed of students who will sit on committees and help with furthering the mission of ASUWB. Committees are assigned based on interest and availability. UWB Leaders also attend events, shadow student leaders in their work, and inform ASUWB of emerging student needs and ideas. Through this work, UWB leaders will gain experience in campus involvement, leadership, professional development, and student government.
UWB Leaders meet every other week throughout the academic year; meeting times are determined during the mandatory orientation. Meetings are organized and led by the ASUWB Vice President (asuwbvp@uw.edu) and two co-chairs (ASUWB Officers).

We work to increase student awareness of the positions and of the elections themselves. Committee members get a chance to learn about elections and student government, gain leadership experience, and meet other students with similar interests.
The elections committee starts at the beginning of each winter quarter and works together until mid-May. Roles on the committee include event planning, marketing, web edits, leading candidate orientations, and much more!
The elections committee is led by the ASUWB Parliamentarian (asuwbpar@uw.edu)
