MAWS Workshop grants of up to $400 each are available to member guilds. These are used to help defray the expense of bringing an instructor to the host city. Participation in the workshop must be made available to MAWS members state-wide and must be advertised through the MAWS newsletter or by correspondence with the other MAWS guilds. Registration should be open on a date specified in the announcement of the workshop. Local guild members will also be held to that date (no early registrations). Requests should contain the following information: - Instructor name - Classes to be offered - Dates, time and place of workshop - Total cost to guild - Maximum number of participants - Plan for communicating to MAWS members - Beginning registration date
After the workshop is over, the host guild will send the board a written report to include the following:
- Number of participants - A description of the workshop content - How you liked it/or didn’t - Some photos if possible - Anything else you think might be useful!
The intent is to give future workshop planners some concrete information about the instructor, their classes and teaching success.
