Telfair Academy Guild / Women in Business

spacer

In 1976, the Telfair Academy Guild (TAG) was founded by a small group of women whose aim was to support the goals and activities of Telfair Museums through volunteerism. From a nucleus of about 40 women, the group has grown nearly tenfold. Membership is open to anyone who is a member of the museum, and who is interested in supporting the Guild’s activities. In 2007, a new arm of TAG was established: Women In Business In TAG. WIBITAG was created for working women who want to volunteer time to the museum and support the programming and activities of TAG on a more limited basis.

Telfair Academy Guild meetings are held on the second Monday of the month from September through May, with the exception of December. In addition to a social time, a membership meeting is held and a program presented. WIBITAG members hold four to six evening meetings per year. The WIBITAG meetings are geared toward networking and learning about the professions of other members with the goal of increasing business and social contacts. WIBITAG members may also attend TAG meetings and vice versa. A monthly newsletter, Grapevine, contains announcements and articles of interest.

The Art of Great Fashion and The Artful Table are TAG’s two major annual fundraisers. Profits from these events are used for museum projects as determined by the museum director and the general membership. TAG and WIBITAG members also provide volunteer support for other museum activities. For more information email TAG@telfair.org.

WHAT ELSE: Telfair Museums’ Curator of Fine Arts and Exhibitions, Courtney McNeil, will discuss A Method to Our Madness: Telfair’s Scope of Collections. Although Telfair has been building its permanent collection since its first director was hired in 1883, until May of 2014 the institution lacked a formal Scope of Collections document that outlined collection strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Ms. McNeil will describe the process by which the curatorial team created this document, give an overview of its highlights, and provide a glimpse into how it will guide the growth of the collection in the future.
