Hello Guild Members,
The final phase of our guild "upgrade" to a 9 member board will take place
at our annual elections this May/June (whenever the next guild meeting is
scheduled.)

PLEASE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER SERVING YOUR GUILD IN ONE OF TWO WAYS:
(the time commitment is not great, the rewards are significant.)

1. Serve on the nominating committee (Job Description: work with other
members of the committee to select the candidates that will run for guild
office for the next election. Make sure they meet the qualifications of
guild office (not hard to do) and submit the slate of candidates to the
newsletter editor for inclusion in the May newsletter.
WE NEED A NOMINATING COMMITTEE IN PLACE IN EARLY APRIL; PLEASE CALL NOW.

2. Run for the guild board (Job Description: join the board of 9 to help
steer the guild through some exciting changes for a term of 3 years. The
guild board should meet at guild meetings (quarterly) and other times if
necessary, and do business by phone and email. Right now is a very
gratifying time to serve on the board, as guild meetings are drawing record
numbers of attendees, new members are joining at a rapid rate, and plans are
unfolding to serve the puppet community and theatre community in many
diverse ways. The board is also very open to new ideas and directions.
(For some exciting idea and direction examples, see the April Newsletter,
coming out early next month.)

Should you wish to discuss either of these guild positions you may contact
your president or any of the guild board,
listed on the board contact page of the newsletter.
