I have been program chair for four times in our guild. I did Meet your Member programs. One or two members showed their quilts and talked about their quilt journey. Everyone loves those. We had a physical therapist do a presentation on proper sitting, cutting and pressing height and exercises to help with aches. I scheduled local shops to show new notions and tools. We had a social with ice cream and everyone brought a tote or bag they had made to show it off. As far as the same ones do the talking and doing, they are probably the only ones who will do anything. Most members will not get involved but then complain about the programs or lack of them. In my opinion the guild is better without them. We have sew days, members doing demos, have make and take classes, hand sewing classes, embroidery classes, all free from members who donate their time and love of doing.
