Charlotte Herrera has been an active participant on the Memorial Art Gallery’s Board of Managers, the Board of the Arts & Cultural Council of the Rochester region, the Advisory Board of the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum, and is a former board member of the American Craft Council. That work provided Herrera the opportunity to broaden her interest and knowledge of craft art.

Patricia Young is a long-time craft advocate and an eclectic collector. She cut her “craft teeth” attending American Craft Council shows in her early 20s. These experiences sparked a lifelong interest in learning about all craft media through hands-on classes, meetings with makers and other collectors, and extensive travel to craft studios here and abroad.

She served on the boards of the James Renwick Alliance (2009–2014) and ACC (2013–2019). Since 2018, she has served with Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+).
