For Dallas, W has been a place to connect with Wichita, take on new challenges and grow as a leader - from leading the Impact Team to serving as Board Chair.

That’s what W can be at its best, a place to raise your hand, try something new and gain leadership experience long before you think you’re ready.

Show up and see where it takes you.
