Chapter Chairs
The CWB Association has 19 Chapters strategically located in major Canadian cities. The chapters organize technical seminars and events that meet the needs of its area members. The CWB Association Chapter Chairs represent their chapters as advisors on the National Advisory Council (NAC) and meet twice per year to discuss issues of importance to their members, provide reports on their activities and provide advice to the CWB Association national body. To find out how you can get involved, please contact your local chapter executive committee member.
