Governance

How we are setting up the board.

SOS PW is putting together its first board and rules for how it will make decisions. We want the organization to be transparent, accountable, and able to last beyond one campaign.

Current statusIn formation

Founding thoughtfully

Names will follow a real structure.

SOS PW does not yet have a finalized board roster. We will publish directors, officer roles, and relevant affiliations here after the organization’s founding governance is adopted and participants have agreed to serve.

Proposed foundation

How the board should work.

These principles are a starting point for discussion, not a claim that the organization’s final bylaws or membership structure are complete.

01

Community-rooted

Directors should bring knowledge of Port Washington, its waterfronts, and the people who use them in different ways.

02

Open about interests

Conflicts, affiliations, and decision-making responsibilities should be visible and handled consistently.

03

Built for stewardship

Governance should protect SOS PW’s mission beyond any one project, campaign, founder, or news cycle.
