The WIWD Executive Board is composed of five Sub-District Chairpersons. Each municipality within the District appoints two individuals to each sub-district, ensuring they are from that area.

​

One appointee must be a ratepayer, while the other can be either a councilor or a ratepayer, but not both councilors. The members convene annually for the Annual General Meeting, where they elect the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the WIWD Executive Board by ballot.

​

If a Sub-District Chairperson is elected as the Executive Board Chairperson, their sub-district will appoint another member to serve as the Sub-District Chairperson and sit on the Executive Board.

​

The Board holds responsibility and accountability for all programming matters. They hire staff to aid in the creation, approval, and implementation of programs and projects, as decided by sub-district and Board members.
