CWG Board News September 30

As Vice President of the Catholic Writers Guild, it is my responsibility to share board news on the fifth Friday (whenever that occurs).

Last Friday on this blog, in sharing what the CWG Board discussed at our recent Skype meeting, Karina said, “Officer Elections are in November! We discussed it and we will stay on as your officer cadre if you wish (though Karina would like to be committee coordinator and Dave would be secretary). However, that’s if no one else wants to run. Check out the forums for a list of duties and to nominate yourself or others.”

I just want to reiterate that the CWG Board members are willing to continue as members of the Board, if no one else wishes to run. If you are interested in running, please check out the forums to nominate yourself.

One of the great things about the 21st century is that we can participate in a Skype board meeting without leaving the comfort of our homes. We begin and end each meeting with a prayer. As a member of the board, I am able to view the agenda before the meeting and add any topics I think should be discussed. During the meeting, it’s easy to follow along with the Google Wave agenda and see changes which are being recorded in the minutes.

Being part of the CWG Board has been an interesting and worthwhile experience. As Vice President, my duties are not as numerous as some of the other board members, but I enjoy working with Ann, Karina, Anne and Dave.
