Board Minutes
The CWI Board of Trustees in its commitment to openness and transparency post 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.
