David Wetherow invented the Microboard name and concept in Manitoba in the mid-1980s. He has since consulted to many groups, notably in the United States where 25 states have at least a few microboards. Tennessee has the most with 95 and a statewide umbrella organization. This is the Wetherows’ website or resources about Microboards: http://www.communityworks.info/articles/microboard.htm
The Vela Microboard Association of British Columbia is an incorporated organization and registered charity in Canada that now supports at least 750 individual Microboards in that province and has also consulted in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Western Australia and SW Virginia.: http://www.microboard.org
