AWA Elects New Board President
American Women Artists is excited to announce the election of its new president,
Christine Drewyer. Christine brought a wealth of experience when she joined the AWA Board, given her background as an artist, gallery owner, newsletter and advertising copywriter, and exhibition organizer. She has been on the Board for three years, most recently serving as Advertising Chair and chair of AWA's recent
Master-Signature and Signature Members show at the R.S. Hanna Gallery in Texas.
Christine's term as president begins in September and we are thrilled to see where her leadership guides AWA.
Read more about Christine
HERE.
We would like extend our greatest appreciation to Diana Reuter-Twining. She served as AWA's president for the past two years and has been an extraordinary leader. Her guidance was invaluable during some of AWA's growing years. Diana will continue to serve on AWA's Board of Directors. Thank you, Diana!
