Board Meeting Calendar

WRPA Members are welcome to attend board meetings. There will be no public/member comment as board agendas are set ahead of time. If you would like to add an item to the agenda, email a request to the President one week prior to the board meeting. Our Board Meetings are planned to convene the second Wednesday of the month although they are subject to change. Please understand that at any time, the WRPA Board of Directors can go into Executive Session and exclude non-board Members from this part of the meeting. Please email the WRPA Office if you are interested in attending a meeting.
