Recognition
Our members are amazing people, and we recognize their achievements and contributions in multiple ways.
- The Jack London Award: This award honors a branch member whose service to the CWC and/or a branch has been exemplary. Each branch may select one award recipient biannually in odd-numbered years. The award is presented at the July annual California Writers Club meeting of statewide representatives.
- The Sue Tasker Memorial Service Award: The CWC Tri-Valley Branch created this award in 2008 to honor the memory of Sue Tasker, the founding president of the branch and volunteer extraordinaire. Sue has been described by members as “doing the work of three people.” She displayed an endless passion and drive for the Tri-Valley Branch in her two years as president and then as vice president and program chair.
- Member News: Every time our member announces a publication or wins some external recognition for their writing, we post an update on Member News. This is a regular column that appears on our front page.
- Blog: The Tri-Valley Writers Blog is an excellent way for writers to increase their network and visibility.
