WMA is governed by a five-person board of directors. This board composition includes four  community members closely connected to our communities and one independent director. The independent director is specifically chosen for their skills to complement existing board expertise. This strategic governance structure serves several critical purposes:

• Protection for First Nations:
  By ensuring the First Nations are not directly involved in the day-to-day management of WMA, we maintain the liability protection associated with a limited partnership.
  
  
• Separation of Business and Politics:
  This approach maintains a clear distinction between business operations and political influences, crucial for unbiased decision-making.
  
  
• Agility in Business:
  The structure allows WMA to operate efficiently, making timely and effective decisions in the dynamic business environment.

At WMA, our actions are guided by the principle of moving ‘at the speed of business,’ ensuring that we remain adaptable, responsive, and forward-thinking in all our endeavors.
