How You Can Help
New England Woodcarvers is a nonprofit organization depending
entirely on volunteers to keep it running. The organization is
fortunate to have a group of dedicated people who serve on the
Board of Directors, lead and work on various committees, and serve
as Area Representatives, but, they cannot do it all! The club needs your
expertise and help. Engaged members make the club better for all.
Be a Leader
Look at the board positions, committees and Area
Representative positions on the NEWC Leadership list.
Everyone has some ability to serve on a committee or perhaps
run for a board position. Talk to a board member or committee
chairperson to learn how you can help.
