Committee and Advisor Purpose: In all membership organizations, communication is the key element to ongoing success and continued growth. The purpose of these committees is to improve that line of communication. The path that line should take is from the member to the committee. At that point the committee will convey to the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee their findings and recommendations. This procedure will not only improve our existing operation but pave the way for good sound decisions and rulemaking for the future. WKA is also fortunate in that we have advisors in both the two-cycle and four-cycle divisions that have great insight and experience in karting. Their purpose is to assist and advise the WKA Board of Trustees and Executive Committee.
