A good reason to be Program Chair is you get to meet new people and get programs in topics you prefer. I'm more of an Art Quilter, so when I was Program Chair, I had speakers that filled my interests, even tho the majority of my Guild are traditional quilters. One program that we con't. to do and is great is have several members demo a technique. The members at the meeting divide up and visit the different stations after 15 - 20 min. (or whatever your time limit is). We've had members show different kinds of fabric paints, colored pencils for fabric, making a flange binding, how to dye fabric, how to paint fabric, how to marble fabric using shaving cream and Japanese inks. Contact Quilt Shops in your section of the state and see if they'd come do a trunk show or demo patterns/techniques. Do you have any people that are pattern designers or fabric designers in your area? Ask the membership for ideas of programs they'd like to hear.
