    The Beginning of the WGA: 2003


    On February 16th, 2003 the “founding fathers” of the WGA gathered in Yawningdog’s garage to discuss incorporation and bylaws for the organization.  Those in attendance were Ken Braband (kbraband), Brian Jansen (GrouseTales), Jeremy Vechinski (jvechinski), Alan Fiebig (CacheCows), Joe Schnike (Thraxman) and Sam Worske (Yawningdog). 

    In March of 2003 the WGA became a formalized association by adopting bylaws and forming the first elected board. The bylaws call for a total of nine board members serving two-year terms. Each year, approximately half the board positions are up for election.  The bylaws were approved March 11th and formal membership to the WGA was offered on March 12th.  The first elections were held in May 2003, with Ken Braband serving as president of the new nine-member board.
