All,
Yes this is true. But I would
hasten to add that the Exhibition Reports were voted back in after a ground
swell of objections to their deletion by our membership. Also because of
mailing damage to the bulletins and bulletins falling apart we went back to
three staples and voted to insert the Bulletin in a plastic sleeve or
envelope. As a result all complaints immediately stopped.

Susan,
here is what I recall and it is from the 2010 Fall BOD meeting and
where
this all occurred. You are correct it was not voted on but
done.
Editor - Kelly Norris presented price comparisons regarding the
printing
of the AIS
bulletin. After a long discussion it was decided to
change printers.
*Ludi moved and Gormley seconded:
**That we switch from
Bridgetown to Sundance for the printing of our bulletin
effective with the
January 2011 edition. Motion carried.
Norris also presented a list of
several items that are regularly published
in the bulletin
and
questioned whether if these specific reoccuring topics in the bulletin
are
necessary
for publication. After much discussion each of the items on his
list were
voted on, one
by one. The board voted on the
following:
*Williams moved and Gormley second:
**That we discontinue the
black and white wrapper for the bulletin. Motion
carried.
*Jones moved
and Deaton seconded:
**That we discontinue printing the Advertising Rate
Card (direct to
website) in
the bulletin. Motion carried by a vote of
13-1.
*Jones moved and Nolin seconded:
**That we discontinue printing
the Insurance notice in the bulletin.
Motion failed
by a vote of
8-6.
*Jones moved and Snyder seconded:
**That we discontinue printing
the AIS Show Reports in the bulletin. Motion
carried by a vote of
13-1.
*Jones moved and White seconded:
**That we discontinue printing
the Approved Judges in the bulletin. Motion
carried by a vote of
13-1.
*Jones moved and Plank seconded:
**That we discontinue printing
the TB Symposium results in the bulletin.
Motion
failed by a vote of
13-1.
*Jones moved and Deaton seconded:
**That we discontinue printing
the Treasurer's Report in the bulletin. Motion
carried by a vote of
8-6.
*Jones moved and Snyder seconded:
**That we discontinue printing
the Board of Directors Minutes Digest in the
bulletin. Motion
carried.
*Jones moved and Snyder seconded:
**That we discontinue
printing the Donations to AIS in the bulletin. Motion
failed.
*Jones
moved and Deaton seconded:
**That we discontinue printing the Donations to
AIS Foundation in the
bulletin.
Motion failed.
*Williams moved and
Snyder seconded:
**That we revoke the Nov 2009 Board motion that we produce
an annual plain
paper business edition (Motion #9, Fall 2009 Board
Meeting). Motion
carried by a
vote of 13-1.
Norris also stated a
desire for addition color signature pages for the
bulletin.
*Jones moved
and Brown seconded:
**That we authorize an additional color signature for
the Bulletin to enable
additional advertising or pictorial emphasis at
editor's discretion.
Motion carried
