Treasurer: Kallie Auld
Hi all! I’m Kallie (Kay-lee, aka @kalliesews) and I was the Founding President for the OGG. After a few years working with the Executive team to build the OGG, I took a step back from my duties to start a family. I've been back on the Exec for a year now as our Social Media Coordinator, and I am now running for the position of Treasurer. I'm well acquainted with how the OGG runs and I'm looking forward to continuing the great work Laura has been doing to keep our accounting running smoothly.
Secretary: Seyda Ipek
Hi! I am Seyda. I joined the Guild in 2020 - before I even moved to Ottawa! Since then I have attended the meetings regularly and enthusiastically. I try to follow the #OGGPOM as well but sometimes I am behind :) I started sewing shortly before the pandemic and then couldn't stop! I mostly sew garments but also make bags, pillowcases, etc. The OGG community has been always supportive with answering questions and problem solving. I have been especially grateful to the execs for organizing the monthly meetings and all the other opportunities to get together regularly. It is so important to keep the community engaged. I am looking forward to contributing to these efforts in the Secretary role.
Social Media Manager: Cathy Adcock
Hi! I'm Cathy Adcock, @CathyAknits on Instagram. I have been sewing for over 40 years, and have learned so much from participating in the guild. I have been a member of since the beginning, and have gained so much from membership. Now, I hope to give back to the guild as the social media coordinator.
