The South Central region currently has 3 chapters

The South Central region currently has 3 chapters --  El Paso Del Norte, Oklahoma City and The Lone Star -- and a large roster of members at large. Our region includes some of the fastest growing communities in the United States. As these area change, so does our approach to supporting, empowering and advocating for military widows and widowers in our corner of the world. 

While the South Central region only has one official meeting per year.  This year our conference is Saturday, April 28 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Oklahoma City.  Our members carry the torch for GSW wherever they go. We actively work to educate survivors about their benefits, talk to legislators about the needs of survivors, and donate thousands of volunteer hours every year to give back a portion of the blessings we have been given.

Many of our Region officers and members serve on various national committees and positions within GSW, including the Government Relations committee, other committees and the Board of Directors.  The Region President also has a vote on the board. 

Our mission is to support all efforts of the Gold Star Wives national organization, as well as ensure that state and municipal level policies and laws recognize the value of citizens who are survivors.

If you live in one of the South Central States:

• Arkansas
• Kansas

...You are needed! Together we can make these states even more friendly to survivors. If there is not a chapter in your region and you know of 4 other surviving spouses who would like to form one with you, don't be shy! Contact the South Central Region President, Caril Guilliams, to talk about options for creating a chapter, or just gathering members at large in your community for service projects and support.
