Affidavit of Qualifications for
Wisconsin Technical College District Board Membership
Wisconsin Statutes establish requirements for the process of selecting members who will serve
on the district boards of the 16 local colleges that make up the Wisconsin Technical College
System. Applicants must submit this affidavit if applying for any of the 16 WTCS Boards, except
Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC).
Do not use this affidavit if you are seeking to serve on the MATC Board. Those applying to serve
on the MATC Board must apply using the specific MATC affidavit form available at Documents
for District Board Applicants.
To become a candidate who is considered to serve on the board of a Wisconsin Technical
College you must:
1. Submit a properly completed, signed and notarized affidavit of your qualifications to
the district board appointment committee by the deadline established in the published
announcement requesting applications;
2. Attend a district board appointment committee public hearing in person and be
interviewed; and
3. Submit at least two letters of reference supporting your candidacy.
If approved to serve on a district board, you are required to abide by the State of Wisconsin
Code of Ethics and must file annual financial disclosure statements with the State of Wisconsin
Ethics Commission.
Board members serve without salary or per diem. Actual and necessary expenses incurred in
the performance of their duties are reimbursed.
Each year, three members are appointed to serve a three-year term that begins on July 1.
According to Wisconsin Statutes, each of the 15 boards (excluding MATC) must include the
following nine members:
• 3 additional members;
• 2 employers;
• 2 employees;
• 1 school district administrator; and
• 1 elected official.
