Pikes Peak Writers would not exist without the efforts of the great volunteers listed here. They’ll be the first to tell you they receive far more from volunteering than they give. Go on, ask one of them! After you do, if you’d like to volunteer for PPW, we’d love to hear from you.
Pikes Peak Writers Conference 2022 Steering Committee
It takes more than a full year to prepare for the Pikes Peak Writers Conference, so some Steering Committee members are active year-round, while others serve primarily at the conference itself. The Steering Committee is chaired by the Conference Director, who is responsible for holding meetings as needs dictate. Typically the Steering Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month in the Colorado Springs area. For more information about how you can become involved in planning a future conference, or to find out when and where to find the next Steering Committee meeting, please email our Conference Director.
