Members

The Wednesday Night Group has attracted many interesting individuals over the years, so many in fact that it would be impossible to credit them all for the time, effort, and knowledge they have contributed. The men recognized here as Founding Members have shaped our approach to JKD and are responsible for the group being what it is today. Some have passed on while others are still with us and remain active in the growth and development of the Wednesday Night Group. We’re fortunate to have many more great people currently filling leadership and administrative roles and continuing to push us forward.
