New Board Member + Rejuvenation

Hello friends of the Winston-Salem Ambassadors! It’s President Mackenzie Cates-Allen here. Happy almost Spring of 2023.

Much like the flowers and trees, we too are coming back to life after an extended hit that we took due to the worldwide pandemic.

We are STILL HERE! And Board Chair Dale Cole and I are so excited to welcome one new Board Member.

Saul learned to art of rug-making during Covid, piecing together the process of learning, and turned it into a business.

“I am Saul Navarro, and as founder of Red Thread I believe that everyone deserves a way to show their own individual personalities. I created Red Thread as a way for every person I meet to be able to display their own uniqueness and eclectic personalities with our custom heirloom rugs.

Our slogan: “Where Personality Shines” Greatly embodies our mission to display local creatives and creators and showcase their personalities within the community; starting with Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and extending to the Piedmont Triad area.

With our Handmade textiles we hope to be a true beacon for all.”

WELCOME Saul! As a nonprofit, we cannot do anything without our community members and we are so incredibly grateful.

Advisory Committee

We are also very excited to have the Advisory Committee up and running! The AC is basically the “board lite” as I call it. You are still able to help contribute to the running of the overall organization, without the full-on commitment to being on the Board of Directors.

You *are* required to still sign an NDA and the Inclusivity Agreement, but you don’t have to attend every meeting. Only those that you can!

We’d love to have you! Check here for more information, or as always, please feel free to email me at mackenzie@wsambassadors.org.
