Dear Colleagues,
The North American Textile
Conservation Conference (NATCC) has one open position and is inviting
applications from our North American colleagues to join the 12-member board.
The NATCC 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.
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
