Administrative files

The Administrative Files begins with a miscellanea of annual reports, historical information, budget data, and correspondence. Within this grouping is a file entitled "Organizational and Historical" containing materials from the period 1982-1992. This file includes an agency history from 1982, lists of board members spanning WMEAC's entire history, information about WMEAC affiliate organizations, statements of objectives, and of special interest, a strategic plan authored by the board which projects WMEAC's future direction and major goals for the period 1992-1996.

Among the most significant files in the Administrative series are: Board of Directors files, Executive Director files, Assistant Director file, Administrative Staff files, and Engineering/Planning Coordinator files, and Program Staff files.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors files contain records produced out of the operations and regular meetings conducted by the WMEAC Board of Directors. The "Board Decisions" files contain annual summaries of the policies and strategic positions adopted by the board from 1975 to 1994 on issues such as new programs to be launched, educational efforts, and support of various pieces of environmental legislation and litigation. As such, the board decisions provide a valuable resource for tracking the evolution of WMEAC's stances on the environmental problems of the era which, unlike the meeting minutes, are not encumbered by routine administrative decisions and other procedural matters. The board's "Minutes," 1968-1992, provide insight into the reasons behind major policy decisions and the dynamics of the operation of the Board of Directors. Also included, interspersed within the official minutes, are committee and financial reports and budget summaries.
