The meetings empower you to network with other town officials, engage with legislators, learn from speakers, hear updates from WTA Directors, and improve your ability to serve your constituents. The Brown County Unit leaders look forward to your participation.

God of power and might, wisdom and justice, through you authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgment is decreed.

COVID prompted a wide variety of approaches to unit meetings. Members responded to each uniquely, some positively and some with decreased attendance. In order to not only return to our previous level of success with unit meetings, but grow that success, WTA is offering the following incentives to be deployed at unit meetings:
NOTE: Unit leadership will provide the winner’s names to WTA. The convention winner will receive a non-transferrable certificate from WTA to be sent in with their registration no later than October 4, and the gift card will be mailed to the winner no later than January 14, 2022.
Thank you to Scott Construction and Kwik Trip for sponsoring these drawings and supporting this effort!

WTA County Unit Stimulus
Unit meetings are critical to WTA. It is where we network, learn, and develop capacity with state Representatives and Senators. All town elected and appointed officials are encouraged to attend county unit meetings. Without effective unit meetings, town government would be much different. Simply, a lot of our political influence is generated at and much of our network-based learning occurs during successful and well attended unit meetings.COVID prompted a wide variety of approaches to unit meetings. Members responded to each uniquely, some positively and some with decreased attendance. In order to not only return to our previous level of success with unit meetings, but grow that success, WTA is offering the following incentives to be deployed at unit meetings:
Drawing #1:
One free Annual Convention registration will be raffled off at a unit meeting held sometime in June-September. If a winner knows on the night of the drawing that they cannot attend, then a new winner should be drawn.Drawing #2:
