SBA Conventions:
National conventions are held every two years. These are three day events that allow members to meet, share ideas, showcase collections, hear guest speakers, attend workshops and trade. Past guest speakers have been Ray Bell, Dorothy Guck, Fred Pfingsten, Dr. Jean Pablo, Maureen Brooks, and Smokey Bear artists Joe Kulka, Gary Embich, and Scott Brooks.
In addition to conventions, one-day regional get-togethers have been held in northern, southern and central Oregon, northern California and the Mid-West (Illinois)
