Wacosa

“Wacosa has both an executive committee and a finance committee. Both committees are composed of board members, executive director and director of finance (finance committee only). The finance committee makes recommendations to the board on various financial information but the board of directors will make a motion to either accept or deny the recommendation. The finance committee does not make any decisions without the board's approval.”

“The complete return was presented to the finance committee who reviewed the completed return. Once the finance committee approved the return, it was presented to the full board for acceptance.”
