Creator of the Netwest Program Concept - Marsha Warren

 Marsha Warren was executive director of the North Carolina Writer's Network when Nancy Simpson and Kathryn Byer began efforts to include the mountain counties in the literary community of North Carolina. Nancy Simpson gave the credit for our present NCWN-West Program to Marsha Warren.

After thirty years, Warren is retiring from heading the Paul Green Foundation where she moved on to after leaving the NCWN.


This is an excellent article about Marsha Warren:

We wish Marsha the very best in her retirement years and we thank her for helping to create NCWN-West all those years ago.
