The Walpole Computer Foundation is a two-tiered volunteer organization managed by an Executive Committee. The WCF holds its Annual Meeting in October of each year.

The two membership categories are:

Currently, the WCF has 18 Trustees and 25 Friends in its membership.

The Executive Committee includes:

  • WCF President
  • WCF Treasurer
  • WCF Trustees appointed annually by the President

The Executive Committee for 2004

  • David Orecchio, President
  • Mark Gallivan, Past President
  • Joel Stoller, Treasurer
  • Sonia Giandomenico, Trustee
  • Catherine Mortali, Trustee
  • John Schoenthaler, Trustee
  • Carl Tempesta, Trustee
  • Karl Wohler, Trustee

The role of the Executive Committee is to approve WCF grant decisions as recommended by the WCF Advisory Board, make policy decisions as needed throughout the year, and serve as advisors to the President.

You may become a member of the WCF in one of two ways:

  • You may become a Trustee by making a one-year commitment to be an active WCF member responsible for chairing a committee or taking on a major role as part of a committee
  • You may become a Friend of the Foundation who participates at a lower level of commitment by helping at events, procuring donations, etc. on an “as available” basis.

Please note that becoming a Friend of the Foundation is a great way to get involved and “learn the ropes” before making the Trustee commitment! Computer expertise is not a prerequisite for membership, since most of the WCF’s activities are focused on fundraising.
