Do you like adventure? Push the boundaries of your correspondence by enrolling in the Initiative Response. This program is a call and response, with initiatives based on themes and the endowment of an emblem upon completion of the tasks. Right now we have three initiative projects and will be adding more in the future:

1. World Traveler Nationally or internationally, it all takes creativity
2. Typist Break-in that typewriter.
3. Out of the Box Rethink what a letter & correspondence can be.

Each initiative has three tasks you need to complete in order to be awarded that initiative's emblem. There is no time-limit or obligation to complete these tasks. Only those who submit completed initiatives will be awarded emblems. The award emblems fit perfectly onto the ribbon strips on the front flap of the LWA member bags.

What you will get upon receival of your I.R. request:
• A letter of introduction to the program.
• A form with the tasks for the that specific Initiative.
• The chance to be awarded an Initiative Response emblem and being featured on the LWA blog.
