OTHER PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS SOLDIER RIDE - SOLDIER RIDE PROVIDES ADAPTIVE CYCLING OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR WOUNDED WARRIORS. THE RIDES ARE TYPICALLY THREE TO FIVE DAYS LONG AND ARE GEARED TOWARD WARRIORS OF ALL ABILITIES. ADAPTIVE AND STANDARD CYCLING EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED TO WARRIORS BASED ON THE TYPE OF INJURY. IN ADDITION TO THE PHYSICAL BENEFIT, SOLDIER RIDE HELPS RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE CHALLENGES WARRIORS FACE TODAY THROUGH EVENTS HELD THROUGHOUT THE RIDE. WARRIORS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PART IN ANNUAL EVENTS, WHICH WILL CHALLENGE THEM PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, FROM THE SOUTH LAWN OF THE WHITE HOUSE TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION. BENEFIT SERVICES - To help warriors make the most of their benefits and successfully transition to life after injury, WWP provides the tools they need to become financially secure. Unlike traditional models of veterans' services, WWP identifies the warrior's individual needs, in addition to providing economic empowerment. The Benefits Services team ensures warriors and their families have information and access to government benefits, as well as WWPs full range of programs and the community resources necessary for successful transition to life after injury. A key part of this program is support and education for warriors, as well as their family members and caregivers. WWP advises warriors on their benefits, along with information on how to access those services through the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). WWP service personnel work closely with each agency so they can walk warriors through every step of the process. When a claim is filed, WWP makes sure it is processed correctly the first time and guides injured service members through this crucial part of their transition. TRACK - TRACK is the first education center in the nation specifically for Wounded Warriors. TRACK is focused on providing college and employment access to Wounded Warriors through its intensive and holistic training experience for the mind, body, and spirit. The 12-month program provides wounded warriors a jump-start on meeting their educational goals, while also supporting goals around personal health and wellness, mental health and career development. FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES - The Family Support Services program provides support and respite programs for a Wounded Warrior's family members and/or caregiver. When a service member is wounded, the injury places tremendous stress on the individual's family members, many of whom face a new role as full-time caregiver and advocate for their recovery. These caregivers are integral to the warrior's successful recovery and, as such, need special programs and services to address their unique concerns and needs. INTERNATIONAL SERVICES - Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is one of the first locations warriors are transported to once injured. Most of the time during transport, their belongings are not transported with them. WWP provides comfort items such as jackets, sweatpants, t-shirts, and blankets to warriors before they are flown back to the states. WWP wants to make their stay and travel back to the United States of America as comfortable as possible. For warriors stationed at the warrior transition units in Europe, WWP has multiple programs in place, including Benefits counseling, Transition Training Academy, Soldier Ride and Combat Stress Recovery. WWP PACKS - WWP Packs contain essential care and comfort items including clothing, toiletries, playing cards, and more, all designed to make a warrior's hospital stay more comfortable. Backpacks are provided to wounded service members arriving at military trauma centers across the United States. Injured warriors overseas who are evacuated from field hospitals to larger military treatment facilities stateside of abroad receive a smaller version of the WWP backpack, known as Transitional Care Packs (TCPs), for immediate comfort. WARRIORS TO WORK - Warriors To Work is one of the cornerstones of WWP's efforts to achieve its strategic goal of economically empowering Wounded Warriors. This program assists Wounded Warriors with their transition to the workforce. It offers a complete package of employment assistance services including resume assistance, interviewing skills, networking, job training, and job placement. The program staff provides continued individual counseling and personal support to all program participants as they strive to build a career in the civilian workforce. WARRIORS SPEAK - The Warriors Speak program is a prestigious group of Wounded Warriors and caregivers who have been selected to share their personal, inspirational stories of courage and integrity with the public. The speakers also describe how WWP has aided them in the recovery process and helped them transition back to civilian life. Participants are trained to become effective spokespersons through the Warriors Speak course, which includes tools to help them organize thoughts, compose presentations, and communicate successfully. The training provides important life skills that help warriors succeed socially, at their workplace, and as community leaders. TRANSITION TRAINING ACADEMY - Transition Training Academy (TTA) provides innovative information technology training to Wounded Warriors who are still on active duty. TTA classes are taught in a modified classroom setting with flexible class schedules to accommodate participants' medical and duty requirements during rehabilitation in military treatment facilities. PEER SUPPORT - Peer Support is the programmatic embodiment of WWP's logo, fostering relationships that enable one warrior to help another through the recovery process. The WWP peer support program mentors are trained to be resources, listeners, and "hospital buddies," who can share their understanding and perspective. WWP's goal of Peer Support is for the warrior being mentored to eventually mentor a fellow warrior - embodying the Wounded Warrior Project mission and logo. EDUCATION SERVICES - The Education Services program prepares warriors for success by helping them achieve their educational goals. Wounded Warriors have different needs than typical students because of the institutional and social obstacles they might face due to combat stress, accessibility to learning models, and social instability because of social experiences. WWP TALK - WWP Talk provides telephonic, emotional support to Wounded Warrior Project alumni and helps bridge the gap that may prevent participation in other programs. This helpline was created for wounded service members living with PTSD, depression, combat stress, or other mental health conditions. Together, the warrior and WWP Talk teammates develop coping strategies to help the warrior overcome challenges and learn to thrive again despite invisible wounds. INDEPENDENCE PROGRAM - The Independence Program helps warriors live life to the fullest, on their own terms. It is designed for warriors who rely on their families and/or caregivers because of moderate to severe brain injury, spinal-cord injury, or other neurological conditions. In addition, the warriors cognitive or physical challenges limit their opportunities to access resources and activities in their own community. The Independence Program is a team effort, bringing together the warrior and his or her full support team while creating an individualized plan for each warrior focusing on goals that provide a future with purpose at no cost to the warrior and his or her support team. Its designed as a comprehensive long-term partnership intended to adapt to the warriors ever-changing needs. The Independence Program provides support and training for involvement in meaningful activities, including social and recreational, wellness, volunteer work, education, and other living skills. The Long-Term Support Trust provides funds to ensure services including life-skills training, home care, transportation, and residential options remain available to the severely wounded, who upon the loss of their caregiver, is at risk for institutionalization. The goal is to empower each warrior to live as independently as possible, with the highest quality of life and finest, most compassionate care possible.

SIGNNIFICANT CHANGES TO GOVERNING DOCUMENTS In March 2014, the WWP Board of Directors amended its bylaws to accurately reflect the current practices and intentions of the Board, and provide clarity and limit ambiguity. For example, although WWP filed amended articles to change its legal name in 2009, subsequent bylaw amendments did not incorporate the legal name change. In 2014, WWP further amended its bylaws to limit references to practices that would be applicable if WWP was a membership organization, which it is not. WWP eliminated references to non-voting directors and ex-officio members. Under the new bylaws, we have clarified that the Board is made up of nine Directors (which will be accomplished by 2016), all of whom have a vote. WWP further clarified who is an officer of the corporation. Under the new bylaws, the Board President becomes the Chair of the Board, the Vice President becomes the Vice Chair, and the Secretary remains the same. These positions can only be occupied by Board members under our bylaws. The Executive Director is now the CEO and the Deputy Executive Director is the Chief Operating Officer. The CEO and COO are officers of the corporation appointed by the Board, and their respective duties are listed in the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The CEO can appoint others to be officers, like the CFO. WWP also amended its audit committee charter to incorporate risk functions the audit and risk committee is undertaking.
