Item 5.02(b) Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On April 16, 2019, in an effort to streamline and reduce the size of the Board of Directors of WidePoint Corporation (the “Company”), the Board accepted the resignation of Alan Howe (effective April 30, 2019) and Morton Taubman provided notice of his retirement from the Board effective June 11, 2019 (the date of the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders). Mr. Howe and Mr. Taubman each acted voluntarily in order to reduce the size of the Board after discussions about board size and composition with the other members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Neither Mr. Howe nor Mr. Taubman had any disagreement with the Board, the Company or its management on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Howe and Mr. Taubman have been valuable members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company wishes them the best in their future endeavors.
 
Effective upon Mr. Howe's resignation as a director, the size of the Company's Board of Directors will be reduced from seven members to six members and, upon Mr. Taubman’s retirement, the Board of Directors will be further reduced to five members. In order to achieve a more equal balance of membership among the classes of directors, the Company expects to balance the classes of the directors in connection with the upcoming director elections at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
