Board of Trustees
The CWI Board of Trustees, in its commitment to openness and transparency, posts Board minutes once approved. The standard practice of public entities is to approve minutes of their previous meeting at the beginning of the next meeting. Given that the Board meets monthly, minutes will be posted approximately 30 days after each meeting.
