WPI 2011 Report: http://www.wpinstitute.org/news/docs/WPIAnnRpt2011.pdf Donors' names listed from Page 40 onwards. So Sam Shad (Nevada NewsMakers) is a Director of WPI. I had no idea. Was Sam's interest ever declared before his several interviews with Annette Whittemore and Andrea?
Interesting to know from when Suzy, I agree. News to me (not that I have followed this sort of thing too closely). I do recall all the interviews he made with them all though. Perhaps he jumped on the bandwagon too. Wonder when though...? I can't be arsed to go back through past reports - but I know a man who will
No dates that I could see, but there may be dates in the text and yes, the 2010 WPI Report may provide information. http://samshad.com/
Haven't been able to find a report for 2010, yet, on the WPI site or elsewhere. The Directors are listed in the 2011 Report as Page 29 Board of Directors Billy Vassiliadis Annette Whittemore Peggy Sullivan Sam Shad http://www.lvrj.com/news/whittemore...cozy-political-machine-on-tilt-139951543.html Whittemore case could put state's cozy political machine on tilt February 22, 2012 John L. Smith [...] ...On Tuesday, I tried to reach R&R Partners CEO Billy Vassiliadis to get his perspective on the Whittemore matter. Whittemore hired his close friend's public relations, lobbying and advertising firm on Wingfield's Coyote Springs development in Lincoln County. Soon after my request, the company released this statement: "R&R Partners strongly resents any suggestion of irregularities or impropriety in our business relationship with the Wingfield Nevada Group (the Group) and finds offensive any attempt to include us in discussions of the dispute between the Group and Harvey Whittemore. For many years, we have provided a variety of services to Wingfield Nevada Group, which have included not only government and public affairs, but also advertising, branding, marketing and public relations. R&R Partners' name is synonymous with integrity and excellence. Should these baseless arguments persist, we will vigorously pursue all available options to protect our reputation." Consider that knee-jerk response a shot across the bow of the press from Nevada's best-known political and advertising factory... So one of the WPI Directors is (or was) Billy Vassiliadis, CEO of R & R Partners PR firm.

I've been advised that Khaly Castle blogged on recent changes to the WPI Board on March 15, in this post, here: http://cfsuntied.com/blog2/2012/03/15/wpi-publishes-2011-annual-report/
