Ignition Northwest wouldn’t exist without the dedication of our community. Committees are responsible for many of the day to day decisions. Any member of INW in good standing can join, and after attending three out of the last four meetings you’ll have voting privileges.

Providing art grants to the community is a major part of Ignition Northwest’s work. The grants committee is tasked with evaluating those submissions to determine how funds will be allocated.

Fundraising Committee
Meetings: 2nd Mondays at 7pm virtually
The Fundraising Committee‘s goal is to assist with the financial viability and stability of Ignition Northwest. Membership is open to members of the INW community who are forward thinking and problem solving. Our desire is to find new strategies of raising money to fund our community’s efforts of self expression through the arts.

Tech Committee
Meetings: 4th Tuesdays at 7pm virtually
The Tech committee talks about all the devices and systems we use to run events and the Ignition Northwest well. We work on things like the website, radios, programs, devices and more. We need people that are both users of the tech and the folks who know a lot about tech, because most of our tech users are not techy themselves. We talk about tech policy and how best to use technology to serve the community. Come help!

Conduct Committee
Meetings: public meeting cadence to be announced
The Ignition Northwest Conduct Committee is a resource INW members can use to report incidents they experience that violate the INW code of conduct. The Conduct Committee collaborates with reporters, prioritizes privacy, and utilizes a restorative justice framework to address behavior that harms community members.
The current committee has three filled board member roles (Feynman, Megaphone, and Nonsense) and two unfilled community members roles. Recruitment for additional community members will begin in August 2024.
Coming soon: monthly public meetings where the members of the Conduct Committee discuss progress, policies, and answer community questions.
