GWI originated as a collaborative blog, started by four highschool students from Honolulu, HI. We were all involved in the research, composition, development, editing, and testing processes.
Once we graduated from highschool, we were spread across the country and all got pulled in different directions. Currently, Lani Maher is solely responsible for maintaining this blog. However, when first launching the site, we devised specific roles to ensure everything ran smoothly.
LM is the group leader. She makes sure we stay on task and that everything runs smoothly. She also does all of the technical work.

Together, we make “The Founding Four”
