You can go on to the NWTF Website and then to IN YOUR STATE ... should be a contact by the name of Barnabas Koka and he should be able to tell you whats in your area.

I was one of the 26 local chapter presidents and Jakes (youth) cordinator for 10 years (of one of the most involved and active chapter), served 10 years on the NWTF State Board of Directors, 3 years as Puget Sound District Director, and 10 years as a Senoir Sponsor member ... yet we were called many names by this RD (including thieves) which didn't sit well with those in the chapter or any of the other chapters he libeled .... it came out a few months later that the RD couldn't account for many chapters banquet funds and he was immediately fired .... hhhhhmmmmmm ! The damage was already done statewide ....

They are actively looking for an regional director for Washington and Oregon. I am the vice president for the Lake Washington charter and also a state board member.
