WELCOME!

We are so glad you decided to come find out about us!

The Embroiderers’ Guild of America, Inc. is composed of thirteen regions. The Rocky Mountain Region represents Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada (Elko), Utah, New Mexico, and Texas (El Paso). Each of our 22 Chapters has a voice on the Region Board through their Region Representative position. The Region Director sits on the National Board, representing the Chapters’ issues there. A member of any chapter within the Region is also a member of the Region and eligible for all Region benefits.

The Rocky Mountain Region offers a newsletter, “Border To Border”. It is published 4 times per year and is accessible via this website. “Border To Border” includes reports from the Region Director, Committee Chairmen, chapter happenings, calendars of events, the Region teacher listing and many other things.

The Rocky Mountain Region Seminar is held in different locations throughout the Region each year. This is generally a 2- to 3-day event that affords Region and other EGA members the opportunity to attend classes taught by national and region teachers. Other activities can include exhibits, a boutique, a bookstore, auctions, tours, etc. Of course, there is always food, fun and friendship!

More information on all the items mentioned can be found on this website.
