State & Local Directors
The Washington Satsang Society (WSS) is supported by a network of volunteers who are here to serve you at both the local and state levels. These ECK leaders help run the ECKANKAR organization in Washington, and serve in many different capacities, from local directors and coordinators, to statewide directors, to the WSS Board of Trustees, WSS Officers, President, and RESA.

Five Points to Master Your Spiritual Destiny
- Point number one: Forget the past, and learn the spiritual lessons of today.
- Point number two: Look for a new way to solve a stubborn problem.
- Point number three: Whatever you undertake, do it to the best of your ability. If necessary, do it even better.
- Point number four: Being different can make you an outcast or a leader. Sometime you need to make a choice.
- Point number five: Tell others about the teachings of ECK.
