Now beyond our 50th anniversary, the organization has continued to grow and enjoy phenomenal support from our sponsors. In 2017 there were 73 partners sponsoring WHEA and in 2018 we had 81 sponsors with eight of them at the Platinum level! The state board also moved forward with new and innovative projects in recent years, leading to the creation of three ad hoc committees to address current challenges – The ASHE Energy to Care Program Committee, the MECHanics Education & Relationship Committee and the Communications Committee. These teams have been formed in addition to the special committees previously established in recent years – the Nominating Committee, the Executive Committee and the Finance Committee.
