The Board typically meets at 3:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise noted in the meeting agenda. Agendas are posted on the Agendas/Minutes page at least one week prior to each meeting. The Executive Director of the WMPO serves as secretary to the Board, and a public comment period is included in all regular meetings.
