On CGOA:

Ellen is a professional member of CGOA, and she has this to share about her CGOA experience:

Being a member of the CGOA has opened up so many opportunities for me both personally and professionally. Learning about the industry expanded my crochet skills, exposed me to lovely yarns, and introduced me to life-long friends.
