Annual meetings of INWAC (formerly the National Network of WAC Programs) have been held since 1981 at the annual conventions of the Conference on College Composition and Communication. These meetings are conducted by the INWAC consultants board. The meetings are issues-and-problems workshops, with the agenda set by the concerns of those present, each roundtable moderated by a member of the board.

Publications: During its 35-year history, INWAC has co-sponsored three collections of essays for WAC/WID program developers:

In 2014, INWAC sponsored creation of the Statement of WAC Principles and Practices by a national team of WAC/WID directors; the document was vetted by the INWAC Board of Consultants and endorsed by the Executive Committee of CCCC.

Our partnership with the Clearinghouse makes readily accessible to INWAC members a growing list of new and previously-published books in WAC/WID. Essentially, this partnership allows the Clearinghouse to serve as the publishing arm of INWAC.
