Re: AIS Position Appointments


George,

Our bylaws can be changed.

But rubber-stamping appointments does not seem like micro-managing to me.

RON, I feel your PAIN. And BOB, I agree about not micro- managing everything... just look at the USA Congress? The President's appointments to his team should be his/hers alone.. to live or die with. George Boyce

Hey, board, if it is a hassle for me to keep the job as Advertising Editor, I'll be glad to give it up. I am working on renewing 50+ shopping section ads and it is more horrible than pulling teeth. The cut off was Dec 15. I sent out renewal notices in Sep. Still have advertisers with millions of excuses and still not able to give final report to the editor. It is the same thing every year. I know we want to keep our advertisers but too many of them simply put this off until after the last moment and then they decide they want to replace their ad and expect the editor to fix it, make a new one for them, etc.

   So, I can gladly do without the job if anyone else would like it.

Gordon never really took over from me so I don't see what the problem might be.

It is a sad policy that the board micro-manages everything the president does but nonetheless I vote yes to approve Andi as Strategic planning chair.

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"

                                   Hello all,


I'm pleased to announce two appointments today. The first is a continuation of the Ad Editor position, and I'm very happy to tell you that Ron Killingsworth will be continuing to serve as the Advertising Editor for IRISES. Ron has admirably performed the duties of this position for the past few years. Its not so much a welcome back (since he never really left the position), as it is a Thank You Ron, and we're happy you're staying with us !


And, I'm equally happy to announce that Andi Rivarola will be Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee for the American Iris Society. Most of you know Andi. He is currently the Social Media Manager for AIS, serves on the PR committee and the 2020 Celebration Committee; and at the AIS Fall Board meeting in Omaha, Andi was elected Second Vice-President of the American Iris Society. Andi will be reaching out to many of you for information, ideas, suggestions in the coming weeks and months. And, if you have ideas and thoughts about how we can move AIS forward, providing better services and products for our members, building our membership, developing our resources, and strengthening our organization into the future, please don't hesitate to contact Andi and me with those comments.


             Thank                you,
             Gary


             Gary                E. White
             President,                American Iris Society
