FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 3 IN MARCH 2023, THE WCU BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED SEVERAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE CLUB'S BYLAWS THAT CHANGED THE CLUB'S GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF DAY-TO-DAY SOCCER OPERATIONS. THE BOARD REDUCED ITS DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION AND DECISION-MAKING REGARDING THE SOCCER PROGRAM. INSTEAD, THE BOARD WILL FOCUS PRINCIPALLY ON POLICY DEVELOPMENT, ENSURING THE CLUB'S FINANCIAL STABILITY, AND MAKING DECISIONS CONCERNING THE CLUB'S OVERALL MANAGEMENT AND GROWTH. THIS SHIFT IS MADE POSSIBLE BY DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL OPERATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF THE SOCCER PROGRAM TO THE DIRECTOR OF SOCCER OPERATIONS (THE "DSO"). THE DSO WILL OBVIOUSLY WORK UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE BOARD, BUT WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION OVER SOCCER PROGRAMMING STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT.
