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,GaryGary E. WhitePresident, American Iris Society
