Open Board Positions for 2026-27

Presenter Liason - We are in need of someone who can coordinate our monthly artist presentations. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who likes networking and event planning (it's also a good way to have a say in what HAS members get to learn about). This role involves seeking local artists who would be willing to come present, gathering their bio and short description of what they plan to present on, meeting them at the Barn around 6pm and to unlock the door and assist in helping them set up. Please reply to this newsletter for further details.
