Hi Ron,
There is absolutely no problem with you being Advertising Editor.
Unfortunately we had approved Gordon Carver as your replacement when
Jim advised us that do to persoal reasons you were resigning your
position. I don't recall Gordon ever actually taking over the
position but since he was appointed I do have to make another a
motion to approve President Gary Whites recommendation. PLEASE do
not take this as a problem.
All, with the motion to approve Andi out to vote I can not put
another motion out to vote until the time frame for voting on the
current motion is over. This was my fault as I had forgot that we
had officially approved a new adverting editor via email voting. I
will be making the motion to approve Ron as Advertising Editor as
soon as it is appropriate.

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.

Subject: Re: [AISdiscuss] AIS Position Appointments
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
