As we embark on the second half of the year, we have a lot of exciting events and activities still to come. Keep an eye out for upcoming surveys that will be sent out in the next couple of months. We want to hear your thoughts and suggestions for next year, so please begin to think about any ideas you might have that you would like to share.
Additionally, we have some open positions available for members who are eager to get more involved. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to our vibrant community and help steer the guild towards new and exciting endeavors. Whether you’re interested in a leadership role or want to assist with organizing events, your participation will make a difference.
