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.

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
