Welcome to our Annual Meeting, Pandemic Edition …
This year, we decided that we’d record our Annual Meeting via Zoom, so that everyone could watch on their own schedule. With restrictions on big groups getting together – and also keeping in mind that with the weather getting nicer and people being able to get out more, it might be hard to find a time that would work for everyone – this seemed like a good solution. (And, let’s just face it, Zoom fatigue is a real thing! Would people really want to login to a meeting when the evening might turn out to be a gorgeous one?!) We look forward to holding future annual meetings in person again – but for this one year it just seemed simpler, and a whole lot safer!
During the hour long recording, you’ll get to meet our incoming board members; look back on the things that we’ve been able to do over the course of the last year and a half (which turned out to be quite a lot, all things considered!); and learn about some of the things we have planned for the upcoming year.
As always, we welcome your feedback. Were there MNJAG events that you particularly liked (or didn’t like) this year? Are there events, classes, or social opportunities that you’d like MNJAG to host in the future? Please share with us what you love about the organization, what you don’t love, and what you’d like to see it become! Here is where you can contact us to share your feedback.
This year has certainly been an unusual one for everyone, and quite difficult for many, but through it all we hope that MNJAG has given you a place to feel welcome and share your passion for jewelry with our wonderful community of jewelry artists. And we very much look forward to more opportunities to get together, both virtually and in person, in the coming year!
