Volunteer

SNAG relies on a volunteer Board of people just like you to help steer our organization. Equity, inclusion, and representation within the Board of Directors membership is critical to ensure the continued ability of SNAG to honor its mission to inspire creativity, encourage education, and foster community. The NEC enthusiastically welcomes nominations and self-nominations of members, non-members, enthusiasts, makers, writers, educators, and underrepresented groups as we continue the task of fostering an inclusive culture of belonging by actively inviting the contributions of all people.
