Meet The CWWA Board Of Directors
The CWWA Board has adopted the Policy Governance model, by which the Board sets out policies for Ends – its own behaviour, and limitations (where necessary) on the authority of the Executive Director to carry out his or her functions, as well as policies for monitoring and reviewing performance. The model is intended to be a living document, clarifying roles and responsibilities for all members.
