Call For CSP Board of Directors: 2025–26 Term
Join the CSP Board of Directors
We want YOU! Together we brainstorm ideas, plan out projects, and facilitate programs that support the CSP membership and build community within the world of printmaking.
Individuals who volunteer for these board positions can keep to the essential duties, or pursue more ambitious projects, depending on one’s inspiration and time availability.
Please encourage your CSP friends to consider one of these roles.
To continue our current programming and to develop new ideas we need members to serve on committees and on the CSP Board of Directors. CSP is entirely, 100% volunteer run. This means each of us is encouraged to contribute as we are able.
If you have a suggestion for a member we should approach, please let us know!
All members are welcome to attend board meetings.
Any member interested in a Board of Director position, curious about our board work, or would like to attend are invited to join an upcoming board meeting.
Contact Karen Gallagher Iverson: president@caprintmakers.org or Rich Fowler: secretary@caprintmakers.org to discuss or to nominate a fellow CSP member, or join a board meeting.
