Friends:

 

Pennwriters is in need of an Online Course Coordinator, who is the administrator of all online classes offered by the Pennwriters organization. The Coordinator is a non-voting member of the Pennwriters Board of Directors. The Coordinator oversees the online courses program to provide members and non-members with exceptional learning opportunities. The Coordinator recruits new instructors as well as works with current and established instructors to develop a course year of classes filled with different topics for all levels of writers – from beginner to multi-published. Our current Online Course Coordinator will assist during the transition. The new coordinator will assume responsibility on 1/1/2024. This is a volunteer position. Please contact president@pennwriters.org if interested in this position.

  

We are also looking for a 2025 Conference Coordinator or Co-coordinators for the Pittsburgh Conference in 2025. Contact president@pennwriters.org if interested.

I hope you and yours have a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything Pennwriters or I can do to help you reach your writing goals!
