Re: communications

Hi, Ron
 
I have been wondering for some time why material of interest only to the  
AIS Board is appearing on this discussion group. My email is deluged with  
messages that do not pertain to non-Board members.

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

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.
