Prior to the approval of the revised Charter, under the former Charter,
the WRAP Board was composed of the Governor of each State in the WRAP region
or his/her designee, an equal number of Tribal leaders, and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
or his/her designee as voting members. The Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or his/her designee was a
non voting Board member. The Co-chairs were former Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Councilman Michel Kenmille of the
Confederated Tribes of Salish and Kootenai. The Board worked by consensus in overseeing the work of several committees
and forums, which include stakeholders from all levels of government, businesses, academia,
environmental organizations and other public interest groups. The WRAP was administered jointly by the
Western Governors' Association (WGA) and the National Tribal Environmental Council (NTEC).
