Following Dora Mack's announcement at Festival of Stitch in Lutterworth that she would be standing down as Chairman at the AGM in September 2011, you may not be aware of how a new chairman is voted in?
When you receive your next copy of Contact you will see that a call for a new Chairman for the East Midlands Region will appear, as the role of a Regional Chairman is voted on by all individual members of the Embroiderers' Guild. The Region (and Guilds) can propose a 'name' , with that person's agreement, that they wish and after voting and if successful it is ratified at the National AGM in 2012.
As with any democracy, if you want to make a difference use your voteThe Call is in the next Contact - names, C.V's and voting slips will be in the January 2012 'Contact' with a closing date before the AGM.
