I am saying the board micro-manages. this is an ad hoc committee. the bylaws do not say a president cannot appoint an ad hoc chair. The Bylaws thankfully do not address everything. As is the bylaws are written too specifically for many things. GOOD Bylaws give officers and boards more flexibility. For example we should never had to have a Bylaws change to add e-membership. The Bylaws should have simple stated that the board could authorize other types of memberships. If you have some very important issue that conflicted with the bylaws because of their specificity it would take too long in our modern age to correct the problem. What I suggested does not conflict with the bad bylaws we currently have.

Robert,
Article VI of our bylaws states:
"The AIS Board of Directors shall, in furtherance of the purposes of the AIS, have the
authority to create and appoint committees and delegate to such committees powers
and functions as seem proper."
Are you saying it is sad that we follow our bylaws??????

As is the policy of the AIS, the BOD must approve all appointments requested by the President. Since Ron is just continuing in his position as Advertising Editor I do not believe a motion is necessary. However even though the Strategic Planning Committee is an Ad Hoc Committee I make the following motion:
"That we approve Andy Rivarola as the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee"
