This website was conceived of by Cindy Pearson. I worked at the Network for 32 years and was the executive director for almost 25 years. The Network ceased operating on December 31, 2024, a few years after I retired. After the Network’s website was taken down, I wanted to create a site where people could easily find some basic information about the Network and its accomplishments. This is not an official NWHN website! It’s also not a comprehensive overview. Much of the Network’s history is still on paper and not easily shared online. Grace Doan created the site design and several long-time members of the Network’s board of directors gave me useful input. Any mistakes are mine.
