Our Board

In November 2012, CKC’s Founder, Ms. Kendrick-Hands initiated a symposium entitled “Knitting Heritage Museum: A Work in Progress,” hosted by Dr. Ellsworth Brown, Director of the Wisconsin Historical Society, and funded in part by a $5000 grant from The National Needlework Association’s Yarn Group.  An interim, nine-member volunteer Advisory Board created at the symposium to shepherd the Center’s initial phases of development forward has evolved into CKC’s current Board of Directors whose short bios, below, attest to their depth of knowledge and experience in knitting, crochet, development, outreach, volunteer organization, governance, finance, collections, exhibitions, fundraising, and technology.  Several founding Board members are still serving on CKC’s Board today, providing organizational continuity.  The Board seeks nominations annually from CKC members.  If you are interested in learning more about serving on CKC’s Board of Directors, or want to recommend a friend or colleague, please contact us.
