Re: AIS Promotion Materials

Howie,
 
Andi Rivarola helped me put the PowerPoint presentation together.  It was my basic idea as I needed something for a program to be presented in Region 23 (your region!) back when I was speaker at your regional convention in 2013, I believe.  I provided all the words and basic layout and Andi did the difficult digital enhancements (e.g. Bulletin cover layout).  I have presented it several times in different parts of the U. S.  I have no problem with you using it (with credits to AIS) but keep in mind that Janet Smith is in charge of the AIS digital CDs, etc.  I know she has some useful items that we sell for use by Regions and affiliates.  Perhaps her items need additional publicity.

I plan to forward this presentation to the local club president this morning to see if this is in fact what he is looking for.  Like I mentioned before if we use it I will add something about membership and something about the national conventions.

I suppose the first thing I should ask is whether I need Jim and Jean's permission to use it since they created it.

Something like this presentation should certainly be in every RVP's toolbox.

Howie; I love your idea of a Powerpoint and I am delighted the Jim & Jean already have something put together. I do not know why I never thought about a Powerpoint. I have been thinking for a long time about a booklet for new members, “A User’s Guide to AIS”. Currently we send out “Basic Iris Culture” to new members. But many clubs already buy BIC for sale at their Sales and Auctions. Often a new member winds up with two copies. It seems to me a user’s guide could get a new member more excited and point them to AIS’s many resources. I can imagine headings like How to Have a show, How to show an Iris, How to become a judge, How to have a display Garden, how to organize a garden tour, How to find information on the Encyclopedia, What to do and see at conventions, etc. Certainly I think both a Powerpoint presentation and such a booklet could be developed hand in hand.  Sadly, though I have presented this idea before there was never much encouragement to do this. I hope we can get the Powerpoint fully developed.

Ok,

Ok, looked it from work (Cheryl knows what that means).

Two things it needs is a slide on membership with how to join and a few slides talking about the AIS National Convention and about the activities and garden tours.  I know for some members that is a BIG highlight.

I'll add to it for my presentation, but this is a very good start.

Wayne,

You're the best. When I get home I'll look at it.  If there is nothing specific to the conventions I'll want to add that.

I just realized that I made this a few years back, and shared it with Jim Morris.

I could adapt it or change it if need be.

Jim and Jean Morris have a AIS Benefits Presentation PowerPoint as a GoogleDrive document that you can download.  There is a page on the Region 23 website that points to it:

http://aisregion23.com/presentations/ais-benefits-presentation-jim-and-jean-morris

It has 25 slides and is probably from late 2013.(has the 2013 Dykes Medal winner and News & Notes in it).  The direct link to the presentation is:

Are there other presentations out there we should be making available?

I was asked if I could create this for MVIS for March 20.  I'm going to be out of town that date to giving a presentation to any Iris society in Texas.  Someone else is going to give the MVIS presentation but I was hoping I didn't have to recreate the wheel for this.

I'll hopefully do something quick and dirty and I'll certainly send you what I create that you can use as a starting point.

I find most members of the local Iris societies, other than the more active members, don't really know what AIS does and it would be really positive if AIS had a canned presentation to explain all this to those desiring that important information.

Hi folks,

Is there any Powerpoint materials available to use if a local society wants to know all about the AIS....membership, the Bulletin, The National Conventions, Regional Conventions, all other benefits etc?

Thanks.
