Board of Directors

Wild Ones River City Chapter (WORC) is powered by volunteers. Their efforts are a testament to what a group of dedicated individuals can accomplish. The hard-working WORC Board of Directors does everything from digging in the dirt, to program planning and educational outreach, as well as being careful stewards of the chapter’s funds.
