Background

The WFA is a newly formed organization. The interim board of directors (or Council) is self-appointed. However, the Council has created the WFA as an organization with a voting membership (see WFA Bylaws). Consequently, the WFA Council would like to encourage election of officers as soon as the WFA has a sufficient membership and has formed an election committee.

All WFA members who have paid yearly dues or are issued complimentary memberships are eligible to vote.

All members shall be entitled to hold office and may be eligible to officially represent the WFA when appointed to do so by the Council or the President in lieu of the Council.

The Board of Directors (or Council) governs the WFA and is composed of five officers: President, Vice President (North America), Vice President (other than North America), Secretary, and Treasurer; and six Council members, five elected by the membership of the Wild Felid Association. The sixth is typically the past President.
