Message from the President / February 2022

05 Feb 2022 10:48 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)
Hello members and friends of SCWA! We begin 2022 with enthusiasm and hope, and by announcing the new leadership of the board of directors. At the January board meeting, I was elected president, a role that I humbly accept with an appreciation for the confidence placed in me by the board. Our 2022 board is composed of a team that exudes excellence in literary arts and business and a dedication to serving SCWA members.
 
All board members – directors and advisors – dedicate their time and talents to add value to SCWA through their service and leadership. I’m proud to announce the appointment of the following team members who have accepted additional responsibilities, for which we are extremely grateful.
  • Abby Morales, 1st Vice President/Marketing
  • Lynn Volkenant, Treasurer
  • Sharon Thomas, Secretary
  • Raegan Teller, Vice President, Membership
  • Austin Hehir, Chapter Liaison
  • Paul Davis, Vice President, Events & Education
  • Catherine Con, Director, Technology
This leadership team is supported by additional board members participating in committee work alongside board advisors and contract staff delivering exceptional quality to our members.
 
The Events & Education Committee already is hard at work delivering outstanding programming, including all new weekday workshops, longer-program curricula, a new slate of faculty and a fall conference for October. We’re excited about plans for The Petigru Review, under new leadership and opening for submissions in the spring. 
 
I hope you’ll consider joining one of our committees dedicated to fundraising, membership, marketing or diversity. Each committee is pursuing specific recommendations to strengthen our organization and make it more representative of the South Carolina literary community. Committee service is a great way to get involved in the association and make new connections while requiring just the minimum investment of time and talent. If committee service interests you but you’re not sure where or how to serve, email me at scwritersassociationpresident@gmail.com and we can discuss it.

Kasie Whitener
President 
SCWA Board of Directors
