The Friends of the Waterfront began its existence as the Marketing and Community Involvement Committee of the WDC Board. In November 1988, this committee was "spun-off" from the WDC and Friends was founded. In 1991, Friends incorporated as a separate nonprofit organization and applied for and received tax exempt status.
We continue to have a close relationship with the WDC, including the following:
- Representatives of WDC staff are ex-officio members of our Board.
- The President of Friends is an ex-officio member of the WDC Board.
- The WDC staff assists with our administrative needs.
- We generally meet in the WDC offices.
- We are invited to WDC events.
