HEWAC will be structured accordingly in order to provide the most efficient and effective methods of managing the organization's activities. HEWAC intends to maintain a lean organization. However, the intention is to include the number of individuals needed to maintain a high level of service to the organization and its members. Once a sustainable membership level is reached, much of the organization's efforts will be dedicated to building and enhancing the benefits, services, and activities of the members.

A Board of Directors chosen from Charter Members, current Advisory Board and the Founders will oversee HEWAC. The Board will then appoint a Executive Director who will be responsible, with approval from the Board, for setting strategy to support the HEWAC Mission. In addition, the MD will supervise annual plans and budgets, as well as appoint and supervise two Deputy Executive Directors.

One Deputy MD will head Member Development and Services. This position will be responsible for membership development and the delivery of services and benefits to members of HEWAC. This would include the continued development and coordination of benefits such as the E-newsletter, publication subscriptions, bulletin board service, conferences, product training and product discounts.

The second Deputy MD position will head Operations. In this role, the individual will be responsible for production, business affairs, finance, human resources and industry relations. He or she would be responsible for many of the operational issues that HEWAC would be faced with on a daily basis.

Coordination of Services and Activities
The Founding Members of HEWAC have formed a non-profit corporation (HEWAC, Higher Education Wireless Access Consortium) under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is under this legal entity that HEWAC will conduct its operations.

Individuals that serve on the corporation's Board of Directors will abide by its Articles of Incorporation and By-laws. It has been determined that both Founding Members must agree in writing before another member can be added to the Corporations Board of Directors.

The HEWAC Board of Directors will meet once a quarter in person or via conference call. It will also meet in person at least once a year concurrent with a HEWAC conference. It is the responsibility of the Board to adhere to the corporate by-laws as well as the processes that will lead to the fulfillment of HEWAC's stated vision, mission and goals. The Board of Directors will oversee the procurement of services and activities pertaining to HEWAC in order to ensure the integrity and ethical standards associated with delivering the stated benefits to members.

The Founding Members intend to establish an organization with the stated mission of expanding the deployment of broadband wireless access at colleges and universities throughout the world by providing both a physical and virtual platform for stakeholders to come together to network and share ideas. In addition, the organization will provide a venue for promoting new and creative uses of this rapidly evolving technology, while helping set and promote policies that enhance personal and institutional security.
