The NCWC is an independent network of executives representing nonprofit agencies (NPAs) that manufacture products or provide services under the JWOD Program. The NCWC Executive Committee consists of four elected officers and representatives of agencies from each of six NISH regions.


Under the direction of President Paul Atkinson of Eggleston Services, an NPA located in Norfolk, VA, the NCWC acts as the liaison between the NPA community and the NISH Board of Directors. The president of the NCWC serves on the NISH Board of Directors, thus ensuring that the NPA community has direct input into the deliberations and policy-making decisions of the board.

 

NCWC addresses issues of concern or significant relevance to NPAs and their participation in the JWOD Program, and assists NISH with research and data collection to advance the JWOD Program. In addition, NCWC members are often called upon to review changes in processes that pertain to JWOD to determine feasibility for the entire NPA community.

 

The NCWC has a national awards program to recognize excellence in management and leadership at NPAs from across the country.
