The WOCN
Society develops white papers to meet the needs of the membership. Topics for documents might result from the WOCN
Society's Strategic Plan, member surveys, or as a directive from the Board of Directors. White papers are used to inform and educate, propose activities to solve problems, and/or facilitate decision making by providing an extensive overview about a topic.
