 CONSIDER SCWA BOARD SERVICE
Our Summer Series wrapped up this week with Chapin/Irmo Chapter member Carolyn Hartley. She shared that some of her chapter members had told her how much they enjoyed the Summer Series.
Summer Series was first run during the pandemic when we'd been shut down from in-person chapter meetings and SCWA wanted to present something that would fulfill our commitment to education and association for our writers. We went 10 consecutive weeks this summer, every Tuesday at noon.
I volunteered for it again this year for two reasons: 1) I need a weekly habit to keep me in the groove over the summer, and 2) I love giving our members a chance to teach on the subjects they know best. We have quite a few members ready, able and willing to lead.
People! Your SCWA needs you!
Our Board of Directors is currently recruiting for the 2024 service year. We'll need members to step forward, make themselves available, and serve the association in governance. (See more details later in the August 2023 issue of The Quill from SCWA Secretary Sharon Thomas.)
I've been serving SCWA since 2018 in various capacities. I have certainly gotten more than I expected from these opportunities. Leadership gives members a chance to direct the activities of the organization that supports them. Service to the organization helps you get more from the association pillar of our mission statement.
Consider where you are in your writing journey and whether board service may be right for you. I'm glad to answer any questions just email me at Kasie@clemsonroad.com.
