Here's an example provided by [nrahlstr](http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/nrahlstr). Thanks, Nathan!
```javascript
var workflowGUID = null;
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetTemplatesForItem",
item: itemURL,
async: false,
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
$(xData.responseXML).find("WorkflowTemplates > WorkflowTemplate").each(function(i,e) {
// hard coded workflow name
if ( $(this).attr("Name") == "Workflow Name" ) {
var guid = $(this).find("WorkflowTemplateIdSet").attr("TemplateId");
if ( guid != null ) {
workflowGUID = "{" + guid + "}";
}
}
});
}
});
```
