Team News cannot exist without your contributions
Please email team news and updates to marketing@thencwsa.org with the following standard. If the standard is not followed, collection may be hindered and this may delay the release of your team news. We are hoping for lots of updates, but we do not want to overwhelm any readers to the point of not reading; so if there is overwhelming amount of team news in a given week then TheNCWSA.org writer may make a judgement call to delay the news until the following week based on the item’s time sensitivity.
