November 15, 2025 Meeting

Join us for GCWA’s final meeting of the year 2025. Join our dynamic, open workshop designed to shape the future of our organization.

It won’t be a sit-and-listen meeting, although you are welcome to do so; it’s your chance to speak up, share ideas, and help set the direction for GCWA in 2026. What do you want to see for GCWA in the future?

  • What can we offer that we don’t yet?
  • How should our vision evolve?
  • Thoughts on outreach,
  • Thoughts on meeting formats
  • Do you want a Snacks Committee?
  • What do you have in mind?

No suggestion is too small or too large, all matter, and every voice counts.

Your participation is necessary for GCWAs’ continued growth.

We want to inspire and serve writers across Southwest Florida. Your input will make the association a better place for everyone.

Come ready to collaborate, brainstorm, and be a part of the next chapter of our association.
