BOARd MEMBER CANdIdATEs As of March 2009, two board member terms will be expiring; Nan Rothwell (serving as Past- President) and Mark Issenberg (Vice-President). We would like to thank you both for your excellent service in building Potters Council into the remarkable organization it is today. Both of you have truly made a difference! We have four compelling candidates who are ready to represent members for the next three years. CHRIs CAMpBEll – RAlEIgH, NC During these challenging economic times, it is more important than ever for ceramic artists belong to an organization that cares about them. A group that has their best interests at heart whether it be in discounts, insurance or education. This is why I would like to stay on as a Board Member. I can help the Potters Council remain a strong, positive support system for ceramic artists. *Note: Chris Campbell is eligible to run for another term on the board because she filled a one-year term due to a previous board member’s inability to finish out her term. pAUl wANdlEss – BROOkHAVEN, pA Serving on the Potters Council Board is an opportunity for me to share and contribute my energy, ideas, experience and time to an organization that is full of great potential. I joined the Potters Council in 2003, have been a presenter for the regional conferences and now I want to have a more active role. I bring a unique combination of experiences as a working studio artist, workshop presenter, educator, author and curator. Potters Council is positioned to be a stronger voice and presence in the field of ceramics and I feel I can be a strong asset in this effort. It would be my honor to serve as an active Potters Council Board member and contribute to its growing success and relevance. HAlldOR HJAlMARsON – pHOENIx, AZ Potters Council provides invaluable services to the clay art community; offering potters access to insurance programs and credit card processing are just two of the many. I have participated in Council programs and have used some of our services. More important though, our Council promotes the craft to the wider community and encourages artistic and creative growth among participating members. I would like the opportunity to support these services and to promote others which might benefit our tribe of potters. I have maintained a studio in the Roosevelt Historic Neighborhood of central Phoenix for the past 36 yeas, and have taught ceramic arts in secondary schools, as well as community colleges. I hold a MA in Art Education from Arizona State University and have studied and documented clay art in Korea and Japan. lOgAN JOHNsON, YAkIMA, wA For me pottery and ceramic art has become a lifetime learning experience. Like many potters today I started with a simple home studio predominately producing pottery for sale at local craft fairs and for special orders. My work has slowly evolved from simple pottery to both functional and non-functional ceramic art. I have started my own a small pottery and supply business with a gallery, ceramics tools and supplies, and a studio where I offer private lessons. Within my community I have established a commitment to expanding the knowledge and understanding of pottery and the ceramic arts. A few of you may know me from the online group Clayart and from the annual NCECA conferences. When asked what I could bring to the Potters Council my only response can be enthusiasm. I will do my very best to fulfill the responsibilities of being a member of the Board. Please vote for two of the above candidates by checking the box next to the name.
