NATCC board members sought

NATCC is seeking applications to join the Board of the North
American Textile Conservation Conference

NATCC (North American Textile Conservation Conference) is a
not-for-profit (501(c)3) organization that was formed to improve the
quality of textile conservation by sponsoring biennial conferences
and publishing the papers from those conferences.  After our tenth
biennial meeting in New York, we have three open positions and are
inviting applications from our North American colleagues to join the
12-member board of NATCC.

As specified in the NATCC Bylaws, new Directors are elected by a
majority of the Board to serve a 4-year term.  Board members, who
must be practicing textile conservators, curators, or scientists,
are responsible for the organization of the biennial conferences.
The NATCC Board meets twice per year, once during the AIC Annual
Meeting and once at another time and place agreed upon by the Board.
During a biennial conference year, the second meeting generally
occurs on the day after the conference.  The language of business
for the Board is English.  NATCC does not reimburse Board members
for travel expenses associated with attending Board meetings.

We are especially interested in bringing our meetings to a wider
geographic area, which requires regional board members to serve as
the nucleus for the local committee.  With that in mind, we are
especially interested in hearing from our colleagues in Canada, the
southwest, midwest, and west coast of the United States, and Mexico.
Among the qualifications that the NATCC Board is seeking are--a
proven ability to work collaboratively, fluency in Spanish and/or
French, South/Central American affiliations, institutional support,
and previous Board experience.

Those interested in serving on this congenial Board should write a
letter describing their experience, qualification and statement of
interest to:

    Esther Methe
    NATCC Secretary
    emethe<-at->gwu<.>edu

Letters are due by October 16, 2015.  The Board will announce its
decision by January 11, 2016.

We invite you to contact any current Board member for more
