Policies and Procedures Ad Hoc: e-mail: correspondingsecretary@wncla.org

Since the WNC Governing Board is mandated to operate under rules established by City Charter and the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, all operating rules for the organization must be carefully written and followed. As the WNC evolves, conditions change requiring adjustments to the Bylaws and
the operation of the monthly meetings. The Policy and Procedures Committee meets to consider proposals for the operation of the WNC.
