PSI is what YOU make it!
​

Any PSI Member in good standing can volunteer for Board Officer and/or Appointed positions.  In addition to their elected positions, our current Board officers are acting as other Chairs, so if you are a PSI Member and are interested in helping out behind the scenes, please contact us at [email protected]. 
​

​Chairs and Committees have been part of PSI's success for over 80 years. Now we're in the digital age, and PSI continues to encourage poets and support poetry writing in innovative and exciting ways. A lot of communication and outreach is faster and easier than in the past. Events, contests, workshops, writing sessions and more can be both in-person and digital. So much can be planned, promoted, executed, and shared across platforms like our website, Zoom, social media, and in other ways.
​
Many hands make light work!
