The WOSAF Board of Directors are a group of individuals that live a life above reproach. They are responsible for strategic planning, including setting goals for long-term projects and capital campaigns. They use their time, talents, and treasure to support the vision and mission. They willingly invest their time, influence, effort, expertise, and finances to see that happen and encourage others to join in the effort. 


Ultimately, the WOS Alumni Foundation Board of Directors is a volunteer group of leaders in the community who love and care about youth, the WOCCISD, Orange, TX, and recognize the incredible platform that this has to help impact lives.
