STARTING A CWRT
When considering the how and where of a startup Civil War Round Table (CWRT), it is important to consider the who and why first. Some communities are more favorable to a study of American Civil War history than others. That doesn't mean that an unfavorable community attitude should be the deciding issue. It simply means that the challenge may be greater. It can also mean that organizers should keep a mind’s eye on turning a negative attitude to a positive one. Will the local school district or college be supportive? Are there nonprofits around with similar interests? What kind of community programs exist that may become a partner.
Over the years, we have learned that some would-be leaders are committed to serving the history education needs of their community, while others are more interested in the alcaldes it may bring. Great leaders must have a requisite level of knowledge, skills, and abilities, a high commitment level to the project, and a full understanding of why a CWRT is important.
We have put together a PowerPoint and flowchart to assist you on your quest. If you have questions, please contact us at info@cwrtcongress.org
