Join us each Wednesday at Noon for a quick update on what is going on in the SOWA world and to connect with the rest of SOWA family! Each week will include an update on any policy developments, trends, or challenges we are addressing; idea sharing from athletes, board members, families, sponsors, etc. who will offer ideas for staying active, fit, and engaged during this time; and some time to answer questions that people have.
When you register to participate send any questions or topics you would like to see us address to the email listed in the post-registration message. The format of this series will be a webinar so participants will automatically be muted, but there will be a Q&A function for you to submit questions. Let’s stay connected and to help each other get through this. We hope you will join us to laugh, learn, listen, and remind yourself how wonderful our athletes are, and what an amazing SOWA family we have.
Every Wednesday at 12pm PST via zoom. Please register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8iBkthsvQWKeSR6mWVyeYA

SOWA has been working with Shalom Suniula, Seattle Seawolves Rugby player and new SOWA board member, to start a Zoom call series for athletes. Join Athlete Leaders from around the state and Shalom, along with other professional athletes for regular live calls to discuss life as an athlete. This is a chance for athletes of all teams, sports, and abilities to connect and share stories. Each week Shalom and athlete leaders will discuss topics developed by SOWA Athlete Input Councils and answer athlete questions. Submit questions for each week’s topic for Shalom and fellow athletes to answer, or just sign on and listen to athlete experiences.
