• NOW Board members are responsible for attending regular and special board meetings (typically on weekends and occasional other days), which are held in-person or via webinar and conference call. 
• All board members are assigned to committees that work on implementation / development of NOW's national action program, or oversee the National Action Center's financial reporting and structure & process matters.
• Travel, meals, and lodging expenses for face-to-face board meetings are reimbursed (within guidelines) by National NOW.
