Western Equality Board has developed a new 4 year work plan
On August 13 2011 the Board of Western Equality spent all day working on the next 4 year work plan. What this means is we have developed a plan of what direction Western Equality will be taking over the next 4 years. There is a lot planned and as usual we cannot accomplish this without the help of each and every one of you. This plan when finalized will be placed on the web site so that everyone can see what we will be working on. It is the hope of the board that you will get involved and help grow Western Equality.

Volunteers >>>
Western Equality is looking for a few volunteers. We now have a board member that has the pleasure of maintaining a list of people willing to help. If you have a spare hour or two then feel free to find out when and where you are needed. A few of the things can be done in the office such as filling, newsletter mailings, cleaning, organizing, computer related work, making phone calls to help maintain the resource directory. We need help with event planning, coordination, setup, as well as, closure or post-event equipment collapse to return it to our storage facilities after the events are completed. More volunteers are needed to assist us in saving time and money associated with providing community events.
Some things may even be done at your home. If you have any special skills that would come in handy please let us know. A new email system has been established just for our volunteers. volunteer@westernequality.org
