The Stained Glass Quarterly Fall 2014 | Page 6

President’s Message: A CALL TO ACTION TO OUR MEMBERS AND SUBSCRIBERS! As you know, teamwork and a tireless determination and devotion to succeed are crucial to the growth of any business or organization. With that in mind, the Stained Glass Association of America needs you, its members and subscribers, to recruit one new member, and to add one new subscriber to its subscription base. Recruiting one new member and one new subscriber can have a huge impact and isn’t very time consuming or costly. Please ask at least one person (employee, client, glass enthusiast, etc.) to join the SGAA and please consider purchasing one gift subscription to The Stained Glass Quarterly. As announced in the Summer Issue: “With the goal of increasing membership, and making membership in the SGAA more inviting and open to everyone, the Membership of the Stained Glass Association of America voted to reduce the amount of membership levels and to clarify the descriptions, benefits, and requirements for each membership level. The Membership also voted to change the Affiliate Member dues from $100.00 to $50.00 per year.” The SGAA relies heavily on its membership and subscribers to define its focus, while addressing the many needs of the industry. Over the last 110 years, our predecessors have made an invaluable impact on what has been accomplished. As we endeavor to continue their legacy, we need more members and subscribers to achieve our goals.
