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.

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
