The WTO,I Board of Directors is a volunteer board, serving without pay. This group of volunteers is to be commended for their service to their communities and to the clients who are provided services through their efforts. "Some people want it to happen, some wish it to happen and others make it happen." "Volunteers aren’t paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless." - Anonymous
