As an independent non-profit organization, WPC's operations are overseen and managed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, while a scientific board guides our programs. WPC's Executive Director, Elaine Williams reports to the Board of Trustees and is supported by part-time assistance. WPC's Species Recovery Biologist is Rina Nichols.

With less than three full-time office and program staff, we direct our resources as much as possible to conservation projects and field staff.
