Re: Symposium

["Howie Dash" <fd6bd32d1@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

From the Spring 2017 Board Meeting Minutes:

"Symposium b Riley Probst. The Symposium ballot was inserted in the Bulletin
and is on the website for 2017.  There is hope for more participation in the
voting now that the ballot has wider distribution (i.e. paper format and
available for e-members).  The 2016 results are posted on the website.
Anyone can vote the Symposium."

I always understood that "anyone" was anyone that had access to the AIS
website, whether they are an AIS member or not.

I agree that we need to promote AIS, but the symposium is a perk for
members. It is a selling point for AIS membership that all may vote. AIS
judges vote on AIS awards and all AIS members may cast votes on the
symposium. We don't want to take away that.B  It might be fun to just let
any non members list their favorite irises and have a symposium in your
own club. That way everyone would get to vote on something.

Encourage AIS membership by letting all know that the symposium vote is
a special perk for membership.

let's call them members in good standing for many years .. I sent out my RVP
letter for the month encouraging members to start thinking about their
symposium ballots , and I also told them to print some copies and give to
their friends and family since the symposium is open to every body members and
non members . This has become a struggle for me . I checked the AIS website
and no where that I saw did it say that non members can vote the symposium ,
my members think I have been sniffing too much iris pollen and I am off my
rocker !!!! Can we please get it posted on the web site that the symposium is
open to members and non members alike .
