"Back to the Guild" Night

WSSA Leadership

A Whirlwind Tour of Everything WSSA

This month, Program Night trades our usual guest speaker for something a little different: a "Back to the Guild" night. Think of it as syllabus week — led by WSSA Membership Chair Inga Marie Carmel, we'll get a series of short, friendly lightning intros (just a few minutes each) to the people, places, and resources that make up our guild. No deep dives, just a "here's what we've got, and who to ask". Perfect if you're new, or if it's just been a while since you poked around.
