Hi all, Kate was wondering what if RVPs or affiliate presidents were asked to poll their members to see if there is a market...... Well, last night was our local affiliates meeting and I did just that. I spoke to our group and told them that the AIS was considering purchasing the binders, to sell to its members, to hold the AIS bulletins. I asked the members, if there was a binder available to purchase, how many of them would buy a binder. Zero, was the response. None of the 22 members in attendance would want to purchase a binder. Furthermore, after the meeting, several members came up to me to talk. They were still upset about the size of the bulletin being changed. All of them were wondering why the AIS did NOT survey its members about changing the size of the bulletin before it was done, and a few were very vocal about this and boy I really got chewed out about this last night. We need to consult our members about these big changes before we make any further ones. They don't feel like they (the members) are important or that their voices are being heard. Anyways, I thought that you might want to know what just one affiliate's reaction to the proposed binders and the bulletin size change was. I'd bet that there are many, many more affiliates that feel the same way as our affiliate.

However, having read Cheryl Deaton's note, I will mention that one of our members was rather incensed to think that after the AIS changed the format of its Bulletin it would ask its members spend more money to buy binders to store them. He suggested the Bulletin come with 3-holes for storing in a binder like The Medianite. This way members who choose to save their bulletins can recycle old binders or buy cheap ones from the dollar-store. And I thought he made a good point when he asked, how many actually save their bulletins in this throw away world? I wonder how many others feel like this member and how many feel like Cheryl's members i.e. they won't buy?
