Berrien Artist Guild Welcomes Two New Board Members
The Berrien Artist Guild, Inc. Board of Directors recently appointed Salle Huber and Nicole Pierard to one year terms to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Bret Witkowski. Both Salle and Nicole tied in votes during the 2020/21 election for board positions; however, all incumbents were elected. Since the by-laws allow for 12 board members, it was decided to appoint both members to director positions on the board. Both Salle and Nicole have studio space at the Box Factory and serve as volunteers at the reception desk.
