The Marjorie Erickson Memorial Award.
This award has been instituted to honor the memory of Marjorie and her lifelong commitment and generosity to the Guild as well as teaching weaving. Qualifying nominees will have completed the Beginning Weavers Class at least one year prior to the nomination and up to four years in the past. They will be current members of the Guild in good standing, active in the Guild and have continued their pursuit of weaving. The President will check with the Education Outreach Chair to ensure that the nominations qualify. The Educational Outreach Chair will keep a list of participants in the Beginning Weavers Class so that it is easy to check on eligibility. The current instructors of the Beginning Weavers Class will write an article about the recipient for the newsletter after the award is presented.
