The NW Board of Directors is comprised of equal peers. Members conduct themselves professionally and interact to create and maintain an atmosphere of harmony and productivity.

Board members work on behalf of the board. All NW related business activities and communications represent the Board and the NightWriter organization. Such matters are always subject to review and approval by the Board.
Guests are welcome at all board meetings to see how we operate or to raise a matter of concern. Guests are encouraged to become board members.
