Our region has two Co-Regional Advisors, Judith Gardiner and Barb Herkert. Each signed up for a 3 year volunteer term begining June 2015. Sue Ford was our Co-RA for three years with Judi June 2012 – May 2015. Sue is honored with the title of Regional Advisor Emerita for serving as RA in Oregon, Washington, and Kansas. The region had previously been under the leadership of Robin Koontz for 18 years–she is honored with the title of Regional Advisor Emerita as well.
Judi serves as the Annual Conference Director and Retreat Director. Barb oversees the bimonthy newsletter. Of course, Judi and Barb make decisions for the region jointly. Our Co-RAs oversee a team of volunteers who help plan upcoming events. Click here to see volunteer bios.

CONNECTIONS are geographically-based groups for the purpose of networking for our SCBWI members in areas away from the Portland metro area where most of our events are held. Each area has one or more representatives. These representatives, under the authority of the Co-RAs, may plan local events in specific subsets of our region. Want your area covered? Find out what volunteering entails by contacting the Co-RAs.
