The impact of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) regional representatives lies in their role as connectors for the regions within the organization's membership. They facilitate communication through regional newsletters. They organize regional exhibitions, workshops, retreats, and conferences. They promote collaboration among artists by encouraging their members to help with exhibitions and events and through Local Connections. Regional representatives play a vital role in fostering a sense of community, sharing resources, and supporting the growth of the art quilt at a grassroots level.
Desi Vaughn, Regional Representative Coordinator, identified how important their dedication and generosity are to bring meaning and joy to SAQA members and make SAQA the best organization ever to belong to.
