Re: communications

[Ron and Sue Killingsworth <retmiagt@dishmail.net>]

As a RVP of  the smallest region in AIS, with no affiliates (working on 
establishing some), I can only offer one thing you might consider.  
There are a lot of e-mails generated on this discussion group and not 
all of it is of interest to RVP's and affiliates.  So, since this seems 
to be a discussion group for any and everything, perhaps a discussion 
group of only AIS board members, officers, RVP's, etc, would be more 
conductive to doing business and getting the word out.  I wade through a 
lot of e-mails every day and must admit a large portion of those come 
from this discussion group and, as a RVP, not too many of them are 
things concerning my duties as RVP.
Just a thought - something to cut down on the traffic and yet insure 
that important things reach the right people.
Ron,
RVP Region 10

In talking about the communications problems I have made some concrete suggestions for new tools, and changes in existing structure. I would hope that those possibilities could be evaluated. Assigning blame is not productive. I feel it is possible to do a bit of brainstorming that could lead to better communications. Generally the only person we have control over is ourselves. In a volunteer organization if something we do does not get results, then what is possible is to try it in a different way. Unfortunately each of us has the monkey on our own backs to figure out how to make these things work. If they are not received well it is our problem not the recievers.
