Rocky Mountain Region supports our EGA national educational goals and opportunities. The Region specifically provides support
for region chapters and members as they enhance their embroidery skills and appreciation for the needle arts.
EGA offers Individual and Group Correspondence Courses for members to have a low-cost, high-quality learning experience
with teachers selected for their outstanding needlework skills and knowledge. Additional information about all of these
courses can be found in the current Education Catalog and on the national web site: http://www.egausa.org/ (under the Education tab).
RMR sponsors Group Correspondence Courses each
year for members of the Rocky Mountain Region. The region board chooses from the current GCC offerings and makes these
courses available as a "region group". Any RMR member can register and participate in this RMR group.
The Region will pay a portion of the expenses for the sponsored course while individuals pay for the text (and kit if a kit
is required). This is a wonderful low-cost opportunity!
