    Organizational structure: Issue Selection Members propose issues to be considered for the International Convention. These issues are identified and deliberated online by the general membership throughout the academic year. National Convention Every year the international convention is hosted by a different college or university. At the convention, delegates will hear expert testimony on the selected issues. They then vote to adopt resolutions that determine the stance and action that the SWA will take for the upcoming year. All members are invited to attend the convention. Delegates and Proxy Voting Members who cannot attend are encouraged to designate their vote to the delegate who most represents their views. When delegates vote at the convention, they cast one vote for themselves and one for each of the proxies they have received. This allows all members to have a voice in the deliberations. Committees There are three committees that establish the guidelines and procedures for SWA activities: Issues & Campaigns, Convention & Event Planning and Membership & Outreach. Each delegate serves on one committee during the convention and for the upcoming year. National Officers The assembly speaker and vice-speaker are elected through online voting by the general membership immediately prior to the convention. They oversee the activities of the international committees. Committee chairs are elected by committee members and oversee the business of the committee for the upcoming year.
