WPPA Board of Directors
All parents that enroll their child in the program become members of the Welles Park Parent Association (WPPA). A board that consists of volunteer officers, directors and commissioners make the operating decisions. These volunteers, along with a representative of the park district staff, comprise the voting members of the WPPA board. Regular board meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 7:30pm throughout the year at the Welles Park Field House or virtually. All members of the WPPA are welcome to attend.
