"SAC" of REGIONAL GEMS
In 2004, The Storytelling Association of California, at the suggestion Karin Werner, created Regional Gems to provide annual recognition and a performance venue to valued California tellers.
Our aim is to honor storytellers from all areas of California. Any SAC member may suggest a Regional Gem Honoree to the committee. The committee nominates the individual and the SAC Board of Directors approves the nomination. The Regional Gem Performance is often in the Bay Area in March, but the schedule is flexible for both the teller and the organizers.
We provide a solo evening venue for the teller, hopefully one in the north and one in the south of California. A framed award will be presented. The name of the Regional Gem honoree will be added to the list below.
