Standing Committees
Six standing committees carry WPN's mandate from boardroom to community. Each is chaired by a Full Member appointed by the Executive Council and reports quarterly.
Specialised teams, one shared mandate
Membership of committees is open to all Full Members and, where relevant to their expertise, to Associate Members. Each committee reports quarterly to the Executive Council and annually to the General Assembly.
Advisory Services, Programmes & Community Development
Identifies, scopes, and delivers advisory programmes and community projects across Wassa — from infrastructure to welfare initiatives — in partnership with traditional authorities and local government.
Membership, Chapters & Welfare
Oversees member recruitment, onboarding, and retention. Coordinates regional, district, and international chapters, and ensures the welfare of WPN members at home and in the diaspora.
Finance & Audit
Stewards WPN's funds, signatories, and financial reporting. Works with the independent auditor and reviews the annual budget before it reaches the General Assembly.
Legal, Compliance, Advocacy & Governance
Ensures WPN operates within the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) and applicable law. Advises on contracts and risk, and advocates for Wassa's fair share of national development resources.
Communication & Media Relations
Manages all internal and external communications, social media, publications, and media relations. Promotes the image of WPN and keeps the membership and public informed.
Partnership & Funding
Builds strategic partnerships with government, donors, and development organisations. Identifies and secures funding streams that advance WPN's objectives and community impact.
Standing & ad hoc
The General Assembly may establish additional standing committees or dissolve existing ones by simple majority resolution.
The Executive Council may also constitute ad hoc committees for specific time-bound tasks; these dissolve automatically once their mandate is delivered.
