Ella Ramsey, President
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend!
This is our final board meeting for the calendar year 2018, and I want to thank you all for the many extra hours you provided this year as we explored the possible acquisition of 3300 University Ave. SE. I also want to thank all of you who participated in our meetings with the National Artist Advisory Council and Architect David Salmela on Friday, Nov. 16. We will have a full update for everyone at this Board meeting.
As I spent time with each of our National Artist Advisory Council members, they all remarked on what a good board Textile Center has. I agree. We don't take your leadership for granted! Thank you! ~ Karl Reichert, Executive Director
