Hello all,
Forgive me for being a day late in getting this out to you. Just
returned from a weekend in Tucson where Gerry and I helped to
celebrate our aunt's 90th birthday. Anyway, the time for discussion
on the below motion has now passed. As such, it is now out for vote.
"1. The Calendar committee should consist of a chairman appointed by
the AIS president and a minimum of three other members, one of whom
is a member of the AIS Board (officer or director) and one of whom
is the Manager of the AIS Storefront. Additional committee members
may be added at the discretion of the committee chair.
2. Quotes to print the calendar are to be obtained from the printer
no later than October 15th. Currently we are using Sundance Press
but may select another printer. The Quote must be submitted to the
AIS Board by the AIS Storefront manager at the fall Board of
Directorbs meeting the year prior to the calendar going to press.
3. Drafting of the calendar is to begin November and finished mid
December (AIS Storefront manager has many places he must send the
front image of the calendar to in the month of December.) The
Calendar is to be sent to printers no later than February 1st. The
calendars must be in the hands of the AIS Storefront no later than
March 1st of any given year.
4. All picture candidates for the Calendar should be reviewed by the
entire Calendar committee.
5. All photos used are to have supporting copyright approval from
photographer.
6. All pictures must be pictures of members of the Genus Iris and
may be from any time frame or year.
7. Candidate pictures must be original work and may be made by
anyone, but preference should be for submittals to the AIS Photo
Contest; then submissions from AIS member if/when appropriate.
8. Photographs must be of high resolution (300 dpi or higher).
9. The Iris subject depicted must be free of damage, with no visible
tears (even if natural), holes, disease, etc., in focus (considering
depth of field) with the exception in an bartisticb category.
10. Scenic photos, garden photos, photos of natural setting or field
photos shall be considered for each calendar issue but not to be
overly used. (Garden pictures often have other flowers as well as
irises. Companion plantings are of great interest to a lot of
gardeners. As long as pictures are predominantly of Irises they
should be acceptable for the calendar.)
11. Close up shots may be considered but not recommended.
12. Any named varieties currently in the AIS Awards process are not
acceptable. (AIS is neutral regarding the AIS Award candidates and
we do not provide free varietal promotion.)
13. It is recommended that the month of September depict Reblooming Irises.
14. The Calendar Committee should strive for balance between Iris
types to showcase our Iris diversity.
15. The proposed contract for printing will be submitted and
approved at the Fall Board meeting. The Calendar Chair is authorized
to sign the approved contract for printing on behalf of the AIS.
16. The Calendar committee is the final approving authority for the calendar.
17. The funds for printing were provided by the Greater Portland
Iris Society and are recovered by calendar sales as set forth by the
2016 AIS Spring Meeting Board of Directors Minutes in Newark, NJ
(Electronic Interim Motion 10) approved."
