Here are a few updates to the Minnesota Knitters’ Guild Board and Leadership roles.
In August, Jean Gross joined the board as Vice President for a 2-year term and Deb Parker joined as Service Director for a 3-year term. They can be reached at vicepresident@knitters.org and service@knitters.org respectively.
As of November 1st, Thyra Nelson will be moving onto the board as our new Marketing Director for a 3-year term. She will also continue to be in charge of the monthly email newsletter. She can now be reached at marketing@knitters.org.
Delia Lam has been appointed to the position of Research Librarian. This is a new adaptation of the Guild’s Librarian role. The MKG Research Librarian’s primary responsibility is to respond to requests from MKG members on where and how to find knitting books, magazines, and information on designers. The Research Librarian works closely with the librarian at the Textile Center (TC) to understand what is in the MKG book collection at the TC library and to add newly purchased books to the TC library. The Research Librarian also helps MKG members find books from online sources or local libraries and recommends purchasing books or journals to the board. This is a non-board position that reports to the MKG Secretary. She can be reached at librarian@knitters.org.
You can find bios on these, and all of the Guild’s leaders, on our Leadership page. Thank you to each of them for stepping up to volunteer their time and energy into running the Guild.
