Re: AIS Centennial Shopping

Dorothy: I totally agree that we have many great volunteers and for the most part they are overworked. But new tasks do not have to be done by the same group. In fact one of the reasons organizations have problems is always asking the same people. We do have at least a small turnover of members and I am sure there are new people that emerge. But we have to ask them. If we listen to our new members we may hear of many that might take on a new job. Getting people involved is a great way to get them invested in a society. This works for affiliates, sections, and the main organization. Sometimes those of us who have been around a long time find it hard to give up our control. We have to offer people the chance to fail. Sometimes they come back to something else and do great things.

Thank you, John, for this clarification. Our volunteers are an amazing  
group of people; there just are not enough, and you can only ask so much of the 
 same group of folks. As Jim noted, we need new, younger people to keep the 
 organization healthy.

I  need to be clear on this specific comment. The paid part of the website 
job to  Chris Hollinshead who has been exceptional in keeping the website 
up. The  bottle neck has been the Electronic Services Chair, which for better 
or worse  is back to me again. Everything that has been forwarded to Chris 
has been  acted on in a timely manner.

Some things fall to the Electronic  Services Chair which is an unpaid 
position. Yes, there are times when I have  not been as responsive as everyone 
would like.

Traditionally the  following positions have been paid:

Membership  Chair
Registrar
Webmaster
Bulletin Editor

Everything else id  done by volunteers

Thanks

John
