REPORTS: Membership Report (submitted by Jim Maxwell)
- The current membership number is 1528. Festival Report (Mike Sullivan submitted by Janelle
Hawley) - Mike will be visiting Winston-Salem, NC the first
week of December to talk to the convention center - a 2nd site visit
will happen in April or May to confirm final festival plans. Mike
is talking to Dan Holzman about shows and Bob Neuman about awards. Treasury Report (submitted by Kim Laird) -
On October 14, I received an email from Tim Sullivan resigning from
the IJA treasury team. He had just received the computer and did not
even open it; instead it was immediately returned to Holly. I shared
this email with Chuck and Holly after receiving it and responding
to Tim thanking him for his time. This predicament has led to a situation where we no
longer have a bookkeeper. I do not have the time or (more importantly)
the knowledge to keep the IJA books in order. Holly has made an offer
to return as IJA treasurer if it is made a paid position. I have spoken
with Holly by phone to talk about specifics of the position and, most
importantly, her salary expectations. I feel it is extremely important
to have a knowledgeable person in the position of treasurer. Holly
has been a faithful volunteer in this position but it is now time
to examine the idea of paying someone in this position so we can maintain
consistency and quality. Below is the plan I proposed earlier through email to the board for us to be able to afford the services of a paid treasurer. It is my hope that we can discuss and come to an agreement quickly about hiring a paid treasurer for the IJA. It is too important of a position to leave in the hands of a volunteer without adequate knowledge of the position. It is also my recommendation that Holly Greeley be hired as the IJA treasurer. IJA Treasurer Position... Video Contest Report (Kevin Axtell submitted by
Janelle Hawley) - The video contest will take place between
February 15th and April 30th, 2009. The contest will be open to all
ages. Currently, the prizes are not set, but so far for 1st place
it will be a festival package, 2nd place will be a DVD combo pack,
and 3rd place will be a t-shirt. Hopefully, there will be additional
prizes donated like memberships and props. Kevin is talking to Dan
Holzman about when the video would be viewed at the festival. In order
to place in the contest you would need to be a member of the IJA.
There will be 3 judges making the final selections. Kevin will be
moderating the videos and would pull any video with unacceptable content.
