"Team play is central to the WCC, more so than any other organizations I’ve known. Working with colleagues and friends whom I love and respect to advocate for causes I believe in is satisfying. That and the influence of those who came before us make me feel very privileged."
-the late Elizabeth Kempton, member 1966-2004
