About the Wisconsin Technical College District Boards Association

The Wisconsin Technical College District Boards Association is a forum for trustees of locally-governed, community-based colleges to come together from around the state to learn, share, promote, and create together. We are a private, non-profit organization comprised of the 144 district board members of Wisconsin's 16 technical college districts.

About Us

Working For You

The Association office serves as a liaison with the Wisconsin legislature, U.S. Congress, state and federal agencies, college presidents, WTCS State Board and staff, public employee labor organizations, and many other groups. The Association office also supports member activities by coordinating membership conferences, award programs, and communications about the Association.

From being an effective board member to promoting successful colleges that are responsive to Wisconsin's educational and workforce needs, the District Boards Association is an enjoyable and rewarding way to develop your knowledge and skills as a district board member.

    (subject to change)

    DBA invites trustees and college leadership teams to join us in Madison for the 2027 DBA Legislative Seminar. This annual event provides an opportunity to prepare for the upcoming legislative session, connect with fellow technical college leaders, and meet directly with legislators to discuss the priorities and needs of Wisconsin’s technical colleges.

     

    The seminar will combine legislative updates and discussion with in-person appointments at the Capitol, giving participants an opportunity to engage with your elected representatives and advocate on behalf of your college and students.

     

    Please make your appointments with your legislators as soon as possible. Senators and Representatives often have limited availability and may request meetings at the same time. Early scheduling will help ensure your college has an opportunity to meet with your legislative delegation.
