Bi-Monthly Meetings

MWUA Bi-Monthly Meetings

MWUA hosts a bi-monthly meeting every two months. This includes February, April, June, August, October and December. Meetings are typically carried out on the second Thursday of every month.

MWUA’s Annual Tradeshow & Conference held in February takes the place for the first bi-monthly meeting, and the MWUA & MeWEA Summer Outing held in August is also considered a bi-monthly meeting.
