“SIGNNIFICANT CHANGES TO GOVERNING DOCUMENTS In March 2014, the WWP Board of Directors amended its bylaws to accurately reflect the current practices and intentions of the Board, and provide clarity and limit ambiguity. For example, although WWP filed amended articles to change its legal name in 2009, subsequent bylaw amendments did not incorporate the legal name change. In 2014, WWP further amended its bylaws to limit references to practices that would be applicable if WWP was a membership organization, which it is not. WWP eliminated references to non-voting directors and ex-officio members. Under the new bylaws, we have clarified that the Board is made up of nine Directors (which will be accomplished by 2016), all of whom have a vote. WWP further clarified who is an officer of the corporation. Under the new bylaws, the Board President becomes the Chair of the Board, the Vice President becomes the Vice Chair, and the Secretary remains the same. These positions can only be occupied by Board members under our bylaws. The Executive Director is now the CEO and the Deputy Executive Director is the Chief Operating Officer. The CEO and COO are officers of the corporation appointed by the Board, and their respective duties are listed in the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The CEO can appoint others to be officers, like the CFO. WWP also amended its audit committee charter to incorporate risk functions the audit and risk committee is undertaking.”

BENEFIT SERVICES - To help warriors make the most of their benefits and successfully transition to life after injury, WWP provides the tools they need to become financially secure. Unlike traditional models of veterans' services, WWP identifies the warrior's individual needs, in addition to providing economic empowerment. The Benefits Services team ensures warriors and their families have information and access to government benefits, as well as WWPs full range of programs and the community resources necessary for successful transition to life after injury. A key part of this program is support and education for warriors, as well as their family members and caregivers. WWP advises warriors on their benefits, along with information on how to access those services through the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). WWP service personnel work closely with each agency so they can walk warriors through every step of the process. When a claim is filed, WWP makes sure it is processed correctly the first time and guides injured service members through this crucial part of their transition. TRACK - TRACK is the first education center in the nation specifically for Wounded Warriors. TRACK is focused on providing college and employment access to Wounded Warriors through its intensive and holistic training experience for the mind, body, and spirit.

FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES - The Family Support Services program provides support and respite programs for a Wounded Warrior's family members and/or caregiver. When a service member is wounded, the injury places tremendous stress on the individual's family members, many of whom face a new role as full-time caregiver and advocate for their recovery. These caregivers are integral to the warrior's successful recovery and, as such, need special programs and services to address their unique concerns and needs. INTERNATIONAL SERVICES - Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is one of the first locations warriors are transported to once injured. Most of the time during transport, their belongings are not transported with them. WWP provides comfort items such as jackets, sweatpants, t-shirts, and blankets to warriors before they are flown back to the states. WWP wants to make their stay and travel back to the United States of America as comfortable as possible. For warriors stationed at the warrior transition units in Europe, WWP has multiple programs in place, including Benefits counseling, Transition Training Academy, Soldier Ride and Combat Stress Recovery. WWP PACKS - WWP Packs contain essential care and comfort items including clothing, toiletries, playing cards, and more, all designed to make a warrior's hospital stay more comfortable. Backpacks are provided to wounded service members arriving at military trauma centers across the United States. Injured warriors overseas who are evacuated from field hospitals to larger military treatment facilities stateside of abroad receive a smaller version of the WWP backpack, known as Transitional Care Packs (TCPs), for immediate comfort.
