​"The JRA can be very proud of the expanded programs, financial support, and the recognition of excellence and innovation we are providing to the American Craft field. Our continued efforts and adaptations to the unprecedented environment caused by the novel Coronavirus pandemic have earned us attention. I look forward to seeing the reach and lasting impact of creative quarantine on the craft field," said Michele Manatt, outgoing JRA president. "It has been a tremendous honor for me to lead the JRA for the past two years and serve on our board since 2014. I wish J.G. Harrington and the new team my heartiest congratulations and eagerly anticipate my continued involvement in the initiatives that will guide the JRA into our 40th Anniversary year in 2022.”
