Officers and Board

IWOC is administered and managed by members who give back to their community of fellow independent writers through voluntary service. Some serve on the board, guiding the decision-making process; others participate in IWOC committee work, helping to ensure that our meeting programs are informative, our members are kept up-to-date on the latest IWOC news and tips, and that IWOC is well-served for marketing and public relations.

All IWOC members in good standing are eligible to serve on the board or any committee. And doing so not only helps the organization, it serves as a good way to network with other members and form connections that can lead to work. (Committee work also earns the volunteer member extra profile listings for the Find a Writer directory.)
