Membership Advantages

Regional service delivery works! Working with educators, legislators, business/government partners, we provide cost-effective and high quality services to schools, cities, counties, and other governmental agencies. Creativity and innovation, coupled with our stalwart tried and true programs, provide a solid foundation of support for our members.

We aim to assure that students in rural districts have access to educational opportunities that students in larger districts experience. By working together with SWWC to pool money and staff, members gain needed service--allowing small, rural districts to maximize resources, bringing equal opportunities to all students.

Membership is voluntary, but it is a prerequisite to accessing SWWC programs and services.

Full membership is open to public schools, cities, counties and other governmental agencies within economic regions 6E, 6W and 8. Associate membership is open to (a) non-public schools, partnership agencies and nonprofit organizations within the SWWC region, and to (b) schools – public and non-public, cities, counties, partnership agencies, nonprofit organizations and other governmental agencies outside the SWWC region.

If your organization is interested in becoming a member, contact Shelly Maes, Director of Member Engagement, at shelly.maes@swwc.org.
