NaNoWriMo’s Community Advisory Team – Update

Thank you to our inaugural Community Advisory Team!

On June 30, the inaugural members of our Community Advisory Team (CAT) wrapped up their two-year term of service. This volunteer working group comprised of NaNoWriMo participants representing diverse backgrounds and creative journeys. Their perspectives—rooted in their unique experiences—helped shape our organizational decisions and strategy across all our staff teams, from programs to technology to fundraising too.

As with all creations, all writing, the process is about vision and re-envisioning. After a thoughtful debrief process with the inaugural members, we’ve agreed to pause the Community Advisory Team initiative. Our hope is to re-open applications in 2024 with a new structure and vision for this amazing team. Stay tuned for updates in the new year!
