1. What is your passion for the future of Foothills Craft Guild?  How would FCG improve due to your participation on the board?  I would love to see Foothills expand its membership with new young members and be recognized for the outstanding artistic ability of its members. I want to serve on a Board whose focus is what we can do for the members and what can we do to make your membership worthwhile.
2. Share your ideas on how you would like to see FCG grow.  How would you encourage participation by members in committee efforts?  How do you see member participation enhancing the artistic community and you personally? While I know that we are currently encouraging participation in committees through our Newsletter and emails, I feel that personal communication is more effective.  I would like to approach members at the Shows, through phone calls to touch base and encourage them to participate through a gentle ask of their help.

3. What non-craft skills/talents will you bring to the board/Guild (ie: spreadsheets, computing, social media, marketing, service on other boards, networking, community outreach, etc)?  I have many years’ experience with organization and management of multiple tasks in a difficult environment.  I have great computer skills and communication skills at a professional level.  I have served on the Board for the Knoxville Chapter of the Embroiders Guild of America
4. Are you able to attend six board meetings a year (usually on the 2nd Sunday of even months at 3pm)?  Yes
5. Are you willing to chair a committee and if so, what committee would you have interest in?  While I am more than willing, given my work schedule and my duties as Secretary for the Guild, I am afraid to commit to something I would not be able to devote my full attention to.  So, at this time, my answer would have to be respectfully no.
