Board of Directors Application & Bylaws


The management of the Florida Writers Association (FWA) is vested in the Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for legal governance, policy setting, and strategic planning. Members of the Board serve without compensation.

Being a Board member requires a commitment of time and responsibility. Members of the board are expected to be well-informed about the craft and business of writing, actively involved in the writing community, participate in good faith decision-making, and take an active role in managing and supporting FWA programs.

Attendance at board meetings is expected. Meetings may be online or in person and usually take place 4-6 times a year.

Board Application Is Open

We're  seeking diverse voices with fresh ideas, relevant experience and knowledge, and the creativity needed to help us respond to the changing needs of the writing community.

Applicants should be willing to take on chairing a committee or otherwise be a “working” board member.

Interested? Please complete the application for our consideration. (Incomplete applications will not be considered.)
