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.
