DC Chapter

Mission Statement
The mission of the DC Chapter is to foster a regional WCS community of professionals that connects, cultivates and creates new opportunities for participants through events focused on the DC region.

Description
The DC Chapter organized virtual and in-person events that cater to people living in the greater metropolitan area, as well as feature topics important to its environment and people living in this region. We collaborate with a variety of community organizations, industry leaders and volunteers to host regular events.
