DSRA History
April 15, 2006, five Arkansas
Romance Writers of America (and another 3 in spirit) met and formed
the Diamond State Romance Authors (DSRA). Three more meetings followed,
all open to interested RWA members and RWA member-gonnabes, in which
we discussed and decided upon things such as chapter goals, bylaws,
and basic policies and procedures.
After the formation meetings,
Diamond State Romance Authors was ready to roll. We had adopted
a set of bylaws, we were in the process of filing for Federal tax-exempt
status with the IRS, we were incorporating as a non-profit organization
within the State of Arkansas and we had grown to 12 members, 4 of
whom were already published Romance novelists.
This is who we were when we began:
