ANNOUCEMENT - New partnership between Cymdeithas Madog and the Madog Center for Welsh Studies
Cymdeithas Madog, The Welsh Studies Institute in North America, Inc., and the Madog Center for Welsh Studies at the University of Rio Grande / Rio Grande Community College are excited to announce that they are entering into a new partnership. Both organizations share the mission of promoting the Welsh language and culture in North America, and have been working cooperatively for the past year. Combining the traditions and strengths of both organizations will enhance the work of each.
This is a partnership, not a merger. Both organizations will continue to operate as independent entities, with most of Cymdeithas Madog’s program functions transitioning to the Madog Center for Welsh Studies, which will also assume responsibility for the associated operating costs.
Going forward, the Madog Center for Welsh Studies will organize the annual summer Cwrs Cymraeg as well as Cwrs Rhith and Siop Siarad, produce the newsletter, and handle publicity. Cymdeithas Madog will be the official sponsor of these activities, while the Madog Center will absorb their costs. Cymdeithas Madog will be represented by its President on the Madog Center Advisory Board. This representative will be the voice of Cymdeithas Madog at the decision making level of the Madog Center, and will provide input and feedback regarding the programs sponsored by Cymdeithas Madog. Cymdeithas Madog will also continue to award scholarships to Cwrs Cymraeg, and to raise funds for those scholarships.
These changes will be fully implemented as of January 2027.
Dyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at weithio gyda’n gilydd.
