AAW Bylaws review committee formed

[Ed Davidson]

AAW President, Tom Wirsing, has set up a special committee to review and make suggested changes to the AAW Bylaws. The goal of the committee will be to work over the next couple of months and have a set of proposed changes put together that can be sent out to the membership with the December 2010 Journal. Tom Wirsing has appointed Ron Sardo and Dale Larson as Co-Chairs of the committee. The committee members come from across the United States and have a wide variety of backgrounds. They include David Walser, Rob Wallace, Jerry Robertson, Mark Mandell, Judy Kingery and David Moore. All are AAW members who have agreed to help out with this important task.

Do not post Bylaws change recommendations here, as committee members may or may not be monitoring the forum. If you wish to contact the committee, please email your ideas to this address.

Don't forget the old joke, John.

A camel is a horse constructed by a committee of lawyers.

I'll at least try to make sure we get two humps. They're more comfortable I hear

 

[Jake Debski]

Thanks guys, not an enviable assignment. But the assembled team looks up to the task.

 

[Bill Pottorf]

Bylaw committee.

Yes, thanks for taking on this much needed effort. John, although you state that several attorneys are on the panel, I know that Jude Kingery can keep them in line. I am counting on her to monitor things for our membership.

Any other way to get the email addresses? I cannot get in that way, I have no microsoft junk to get there.

Thanks for info.

 

[Ron Sardo]

Just a heads up.

The only emails I will be passing on to the committee will be from aawbylaws@gmail.com

 

[Ron Sardo]

I received two viruses today embedded in documents attached to emails sent to the Bylaws Committee.

I beleive it was unintentional.

While I have my computers well protected, I have set the filters on my email accounts to automatically delete emails with attachments.

Please send all suggestions as text in the body of the email.

Also, at this time we are only working on the bylaws. Suggestions for the Ethics Handbook will not be forwarded to the committee. Save these suggestions for the time when work has started on this handbook.

Thank You.

Ron, I hope you notified the senders so that they can get their machines cleaned.

Talked to my 'IT guy' after one of my machines crashed and burned last week, and he said that e-mail viruses were slowly slipping out of style with the hackers. The new "thing" is loading sites with malware and bot generators.

 

[Ron Sardo]

All is good Mark.
