Anne McGinn (apmcginn@aol.com) will continue as chairman of Planning Committee. Anne
played a role in planning the strategic changes and has been a great
help in the transition. She will remain involved with the different ATA
committees relative to implementing our many new programs.
Pat Williams (pwilliams@habersham.k12.ga.us) has taken on the Promotions Committee with an agenda of
programs for the next two years. She is looking for volunteers to help
with collateral material development and graphic design, graphics
standards, SOFA planning, and needs a public relations volunteer who
will be the media liaison that helps raise the public profile of the
American Tapestry Alliance. Please contact Pat for more information
about the kinds of help she needs on the Promotions Committee.
ATA seeks a Chair for the Fundraising Committee.
The chair will be someone who has experience and interest in
researching funding opportunities, and writing grant applications. The
American Tapestry Alliance has received grants in the past and we would
like to build on this to support our expanded programs. If you are
interested in being part of this team please contact Alex, AQSF@aol.com.
It must not go without saying that the American
Tapestry Alliance has reached this point because of all the time and
effort that previous board members and other volunteers have invested.
The chapters of the American Tapestry Alliance story will continue to
be written. And, by the dedication of our member volunteers, the
organization will continue to thrive and to support tapestry weavers
with opportunities to learn, exhibit and sell their work. Please
consider contacting one of us if you can spare some time to help. As
always, I encourage your feedback. Please contact me, Alex Friedman, at
AQSF@aol.com.
