International Aid Workers Society

It is unfortunate and sad that I must say that in light that the IAWS board has chosen to not continue its secessions, that IAWS needs funding that it can't compete with, and that our volunteers can't seem to find the time to simply volunteer, I have decided that it is time to meet reality and disband IAWS until a better time. I apologize to those who have donated and who have supported this cause that is still very needed and important. I believe that I have done what I can as a executive director, who has never started a non profit, much less ran one, to try and make this possible. Fact is that this idea and dream was and is way larger than myself. I need a solid team of like minded people to take it off the ground. But I have come to realize that this will not be made possible in Albuquerque. Perhaps somewhere else in the future. And perhaps next time I can get more likes on Facebook if I put cats in the background of our pictures which I can't believe I didn't think of until now.

Super excited to have our IAWS official board meeting this Sunday. Our new board will be announced soon and I am sure they will be a very good and solid group of people that will take IAWS to the next level. I don't know how else to put it except that I myself will feel like we are taking a major step forward as a organization with a infinite amount of potential and drive. Please tell your friends and get us known around the world. We are an international group after all. And we look forward to growing and obtaining our goals to help those who help other around the world.
