Why doesn’t Independence Northwest have members?
Independence Northwest is what is known as a “non-membership” corporation. This basically means that only people elected to the Board are allowed to watch over, direct and lead the business. Some organizations choose to have members who are not on the Board but have some level of authority around how the organization operates. We have chosen to only allow elected Board Directors to have authority. Everyone serving on the Board is called a Director, not a member.
