Representation in EC4WDA
Every member club in EC4WDA is represented by one of the five EC4WDA REGIONS. With exception to the EC4WDA by-laws, each club runs their organization in the way they see fit. EC4WDA does not regulate dues, member levels, or activies of each individual club.

EC4WDA Club Level Representation
President in accordance with the members of the club, the President of each club generally schedules and coordinates the activities of the club. The actual duties of each club president may vary from club to club.

Recording Secretary: Records, organizes, and distributes the minutes of club meetings.
Membership Secretary: Maintains current membership roster, and forwards dues to club treasurer, and Region Membership Secretary.
