GET INVOLVED
As an all-volunteer organization, the Wisconsin Association for Talented and Gifted relies on the leadership, ideas, and energy of our board members to advocate for gifted learners across Wisconsin, support educators and families, and guide the future of our organization. With upcoming initiatives and opportunities ahead, now is a meaningful time to get involved.
Serving on the WATG Board or supporting WATG initiatives offers the opportunity to:
- Help shape statewide advocacy and programming for gifted education
- Collaborate with a committed, thoughtful group of educators, parents, and advocates
- Contribute your skills, voice, and perspective to work that truly makes a difference
We welcome individuals from a variety of backgrounds, roles, and experiences, and especially encourage those who are passionate about gifted education and willing to engage collaboratively.
