As the Roundtable expands its resources, benefits and opportunities, we are moving into a new stage in our development. That means we are looking for people to help us create a stronger community through participation in that development. We know from past conversations that several of you would like to take a more active role in the Roundtable.

Well, here's your chance to help us create a Roundtable that fulfills your needs and supports your personal and professional growth!! Look over the teams below and decide where you want to share your time and energy.

We have several openings - whether you are interested in leading a team or in just helping out. And, while these are volunteer positions, we have several goodies planned to thank you for your efforts.

If you previously sent us an email and haven't yet heard from us, we apologize!! We had some problems with our email right after our last newsletter. Please contact us again at team@womens-roundtable.com.
