NATCC seeks a volunteer to join its 12-member Board of Directors. NATCC is a not-for-profit (501(c)3) organization that was formed to improve the quality of textile conservation by sponsoring bi-annual conferences and publishing the papers from those conferences.
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 bi-annual conferences. The NATCC Board meets twice per year, once during the AIC Annual Meeting and once at another time and place selected by the Board. In the years when a conference is held, the second meeting generally occurs on the day after the conference. NATCC does not reimburse Board members for travel expenses associated with attending Board meetings.
The next NATCC meeting will be in Mexico City, Mexico, in November, 2005. Among the qualifications that the NATCC Board is seeking in its twelfth member are - Spanish proficiency / fluency, South / Central American affiliations, institutional support, and previous Board experience.
