HWB Volunteer Spotlight: Miriah Meiers, Newsletter Editor

9/29/2017

 
As you may know, HWB is a 100% volunteer organization without any paid staff. We have many AMAZING volunteers that donate their time, resources, and talent to Herbalists Without Borders. We wouldn't be here without dedicated volunteers. We want to introduce members to you here regularly, so you can see the fantastic work they are doing with HWB, and how they are making a difference in their communities. 

One volunteer that has worked with HWB for many years is one who is often behind the scenes, but her work contributes to unifying and gathering HWB together. She is our newsletter designer and editor. Miriah Meiers works to gather our stories, projects, news, and updates and then writes and creates a vivid testimony to the work of HWB.

HWB is a diverse and global group - with national and international projects, members and chapters. We may not get to often meet each other in person, but in hearing our stories and activities in the newsletter, we find that common ground and shared mission. Our newsletters are read by all, and represent so much of what HWB is about - acting locally to provide education, affordable access to alternative health care, herbal aid and relief, and response to crisis within our communities. While we work locally, our vision is a global one, and the newsletter brings us together.

Be sure to visit our newsletters page to read the current Autumn 2017 issue, as well as our back issues!
