Nominations for the 2017 Board of Directors Election will run through January 30, 2017 at 12:00am UTC. There are 4 open positions on the Board that will be filled in this election.

Any WGA member may nominate a fellow member for the Board of Directors, as long as the nominee meets the criteria for Board members described in the WGA bylaws. Members are not allowed to nominate themselves. Members are allowed to make a reasonable number of nominations.

Those WGA members who receive 2 nominations will appear on the ballot when voting for the Board of Directors begins. Voting will begin immediately following the close of the nomination phase and will continue through February 12, 2017 at 5:59am UTC.

Now would also be a great time to be sure you are a member in good standing.  Remember memberships must be renewed annually.

Hi all. Great questions coming our way via the WGA Geo-Art forum thread and the Facebook group. As you have seen, we have created the WGA Geoart Help group and forum thread. Setting out 192 caches was a hoot but it took a lot of planning. After doing that we began all the puzzles and that took 6 of us about 3 or so weeks to finish. We’ve done a lot of checking and rechecking but as most of you know, sometimes you have to release the puzzles and work out the kinks and clarify the questions. Sometimes, no matter how great you write a question, it could be clearer. For that reason, we opened this us to Premium Members first as you all generally are more than the casual player and have some experience. Yes, that’s not always 100% we know. You all have been great helping us with the nuances that make these puzzles better. You have helped us with several errors. Thank a bunch. We will be converting all the puzzles over to all players on or around 12/15. By that time all should be smoothed out and in great shape for everyone, making it better for the general audience. The WGA is a great, diverse group made up of geocachers, premium and non-premium membership alike. Maybe we could’ve shared this at the beginning.Probably should have but it has been a little overwhelming. For certain, we will open this by 12/15. Have fun with it. Keep offering suggestions and have fun working with each other. This time, the WGA Series is about the puzzles. A couple of years ago, the WGA State Park Series was all about the locations. Each of the Board of Directors are very thankful for all the help and all the great logs you have written so far. Keep them coming. We are reading each one! WalkingAdventure WGA President
