Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is a mix of elected officers and volunteers. The elected officers are named in the organizational bylaws and include the President, the Vice President, and the Treasurer. The overwhelming majority of the remaining board members are people who saw a need, or an opportunity, and filled it.
These officers consider the interests of all Baltimore Bead Society members, oversee class planning, selecting training, marketplace, and fair participation, and the conducting outreach programs. The directors promote transparency regarding all aspects of running the society to include budget management, revision of current processes and goals for the future.
