About SWMS and our anti-racism efforts
SWMS is a young non-profit organization. The current SWMS SC has been thoughtfully evaluating how the organization can better build equity, inclusion, and anti-racism into every level of leadership and operation. The new Steering Committee will build on this foundation to build a new organization under principles of anti-racism and equity. Officers who are committed to participating in our anti-racism process are of particular necessity. Please apply if you are from a diverse and underrepresented identity. Your participation in a leadership role is actively welcomed.
