Dear National Guild Members and Arts Education Advocates,
You may recognize my name from the Executive Committee's recent message. I'm Dr. Roque Diaz, and I'm honored to step into the role of Interim Managing Director of The National Guild for Community Arts Education.
I know these are challenging times for the Guild and our field as a whole. And it's precisely in moments like these that the Guild matters most. In this interim role, my focus is on strengthening our infrastructure and delivering the programming and connections that help you and all of us navigate today's and tomorrow's challenges, supporting a thriving community arts education ecosystem.
The Guild is here, and we are building. I'd love for you to be a part of it.
Let's make sure we're connected:
