Wisconsin Regional Writers' Association, Inc.
Description
The Wisconsin Regional Writers' Association, Inc. was founded in 1948 by Professor Robert E. Gard of the University of Wisconsin. The purpose of the organization was to draw together the many diverse creative elements in the state and provide an opportunity and an outlet for that creative writing talent. Two years after forming the organization, the members developed the following creed:
