North American Quilling Guild (NAQG) Board of Directors and Committee Descriptions

If you are uncomfortable with online meetings, then you can communicate with your Director via e-mail or telephone. The Committee Director will make sure that your voice is heard. There are many ways that you can help (maybe sending letters or telephoning members, visiting local stores to introduce people to quilling, being a roving reporter, etc.).
