The Textile Specialty Group Achievement Award Committee is currently looking for a 4th member starting with the 2018-19 cycle (effective at the end of the TSG Business Meeting in June). This volunteer position is a 4 year commitment. During the first year, the member serves an alternate/non-voting position, reviewing the submitted nominations and gaining insight into the award process. During the next two years, the position changes to a voting member of the committee. During the fourth and final year, the member serves as the Chair of the committee and a voting member. During this 4 year commitment, the position involves taking part in periodic e-mail discussions and a one time phone meeting with all parties of the committee each year. Committee members also take part in preparing for the award presentation during the TSG Business Meeting. The TSG Achievement Award Committee current members are Ann Coppinger (Chair 2018), Joanne Hackett (2019), Rebecca Rushfield ( 2020), Rebecca Beyth (2021). If you are interested in participating, please contact Joanne at < [log in to unmask] > . This is a great way to take part in the Textile Specialty Group and honor your mentors and your peers. -- Ann M. Coppinger Senior Conservator The Museum at FIT Office 212-217-4542
