Chapter Charter Policy – June 2022

This policy guidance outlines revised chapter structure and expectations that are part of the WWA organization.  It provides a tiered chapter system that is based on fund-raising success and mission-type initiatives that each chapter may achieve.  It describes the role of the Board and Staff in overseeing this system and proposes a new charter to authorize WWA chapter activities. This guidance was developed by a team of staff, directors and chapter leaders.  A draft soliciting feedback was provided to all chapters and directors, and any feedback was incorporated into this guidance.

The Board recognizes this guidance may need revision as we begin to implement it, but it represents the first effort in the history of the Association to address the changing nature of non-profit volunteerism today.  Any feedback should be addressed to the Executive Director or President. Please read the full document and download the updated charter here: Chapter Charter Policy -16 June 2022
