Story Arts of Minnesota 2025 Annual Membership Meeting & Open Mic

SAM’s annual membership meeting is open to all current, past, and prospective members. Come to learn what programs and events SAM is engaged in now, and what dreams and ideas are germinating but need more volunteer energy to sprout and flourish. Bring your own ideas for fruitful action to advance SAM’s dual mission of promoting the art of storytelling and developing and supporting storytellers.

And then, because we put a premium on creativity and using your voice, we’ll follow the business agenda with an open storytelling mic—another chance to flex your creative muscles and speak up (or just relax and be part of the audience).

One important agenda item at every annual meeting is the election of new Board members. We encourage anyone interested in promoting storytelling to apply to join the Board.  We especially need people with website and social media skills.

Here is a link to the google form for board nominations. You may nominate yourself or anyone else you believe would be good in the role.
