Officers and Staff

CWC’s officers and staff are committed to serving our member employers. If you have any questions about workplace compliance policies, practices, or requirements, need to register for a CWC event, or simply want to bounce an idea off of us or learn how to get in touch with a fellow CWC member, we’re a phone call or email away.
