Board Structure & Purpose
A Creator-Led Board, Built for Advocacy and Action
Always Creator-Led, Never Profit-Driven
At the heart of the Pearl Industry Network is a promise: to always be creator-led, not profit-driven. That promise starts with our board. As the guiding body of PiN, the board ensures every decision aligns with our mission to empower, protect, and elevate adult content creators.
But this isn't just symbolic — our board structure makes that mission real. At least 60% of our board members are active creators, while the remaining 40% are trusted industry partners who share our values. This intentional structure guarantees that the creator voice is never just "heard" — it's prioritized.

Why Our Board Structure Matters
The adult creator industry is often exploited, misunderstood, or sidelined. At PiN, we are building something different.
Our creator-majority board ensures that policy decisions, member protections, and platform advocacy always reflect the lived experience of those who matter most: you, the creator.
Permanent Protection
This isn't temporary — it's codified in our bylaws and permanently embedded in the DNA of Pearl Industry Network.
What the Board Does (And Why It Matters)
The PiN Board of Directors isn't just a formality — it's a working body that actively shapes our community and protects your interests.
Member Benefits & Programs
Developing exclusive member benefits, professional services, and creator empowerment programs
Privacy & Anonymity
We prioritize the privacy, safety, and anonymity of every creator — from onboarding to ongoing participation.
Transparency You Can Trust
We keep things clear, honest, and fair — because creators deserve to know how decisions are made.
Conflict Resolution & Fair Representation
Accountability is a two-way street — and at PiN, it's built into our governance. If a member violates our Community Guidelines, they have the right to appeal.
These cases are reviewed by the board in a confidential, impartial process, and a vote is held. All board decisions in these matters are final, and always made with community safety and trust as the top priority.
Fair & Final
Impartial review process with community safety first

Creator Leadership Is Not a Trend — It's a Foundation
We don't believe creators should be "advised" or "consulted" — they should lead. That's why our board is majority creator-led, and always will be.
Pearl Industry Network exists to build a safer, stronger, and more respected creator economy. And with your voice at the center of our leadership, we're building it together.
