Purpose

A Finance Committee was formed in 2004 to advise and assist the WRA Board in the issuance and sale of bonds for capital improvement projects. Since that time there have been a number of new representatives added to the WRA Finance Committee to advise and assist the Board with WRA financial issues. The committee meets on an “as needed” basis for a variety of financial issues.
