Network Volunteers We are looking for volunteers in “hubs” throughout the state who are willing to lead or coordinate workshops, schmoozes, seminars, etc.  We have a Network volunteer in the Wichita area!  Contact the Regional Advisor at ks_scbwi@yahoo.com.

Volunteer for an Event
If you would like to volunteer, but don’t have time for a full-time position, let us know you’d like to help: at our next conference, or retreat, or ? We’ll contact you prior to our next event and find a job that’s just right for you. Contact the Regional Advisor at ks_scbwi@yahoo.com
