WSIFOA CONSTITUTION, BY-LAWS, POLICIES

The Washington Officials Association (WOA) is the governing organization for officials for interscholastic athletic events in the State of Washington. Members join through local associations, upon payment of stipulated fees. An association is the organization within a geographic area, which is recognized by the WOA as having the responsibility for the training and assigning of officials for interscholastic athletic events. It also coordinates the instruction of officials, coaches, and players concerning sport rules. WSIFOA is the recognized local association for Whatcom, Skagit, San Juan, and Island Counties for interscholastic football as assigned by WOA with representation in Region 1 of the State of Washington.

The WOA Constitution and By-Laws must be adhered to by WSIFOA. The WSIFOA’s Constitution, By-Laws, and Operating policies may expand and clarify governing rules of the WOA as long as they are not in conflict with the basic intent of the WOA Constitution and By- Laws.
