Guild News:

Board members will be elected at the October General Meeting. The meeting is held via Zoom so all can attend. Voting usually takes about 5 minutes and then there will be a discussion of the ins and outs of torchwork: see previous articles.

Board positions open at this time are:

• President: Sets the agenda and leads the board meetings (Barb Kienle is running)

• Co-Vice President: each person would organize and run 4 of the 8 General Meetings:
Log-in and go to Glass>Education to see the wide range of topics and view recordings of past General Meetings
(Linda Schnell is running only if there is another volunteer who can do the other 4 meetings). Contact the current VP, Barb Kienle, to find out more.

• Website Team Lead: keeps the website in order and makes sure that the automatic updates are running smoothly. Triages emails: Invokes the maintenance company to handle real problems and provides guidance to new website users. Must have and use a computer — the required level of WordPress is minimal and easy to learn from the rest of the team. The maintenance company does a great job with the technical stuff but you do have to be able to describe the problem you want them to solve. The Team Lead coordinates with the communications, event, membership, and newsletter volunteers on the team. Contact the web-help team to find out more.

• Newsletter Team Lead: Helps set the editorial calendar of the newsletter to publicize guild events, promote guild membership and glass in general and then works with the newsletter team to assemble the newsletter every two months. (Karen Seymour is running)

Please contact president Lesley Kelly to volunteer for one of these positions
