Those of you who are not members, or those of you who are wondering
what the society does, please get over to http://www.aroid.org/ and
educate/sign yourselves up.
In an attempt to improve communication with the membership, I intend
to write periodic updates such as this one with information for members
of the IAS regarding the status of various projects, the publications
and available membership services.
** The "December" newsletter ( 25-4 ) has finally been mailed. We
apologize for the delay - the combination of a year-end rush at the
printer, a new volunteer graphic designer, and some personal issues
resulted in our being at least a month late. We expect to be back on
track with the next issue in March.
** Aroideana should be in every member's hands by now. If you have
not received it, or the newsletter, please do not hesitate to contact
me personally, and I will arrange to have a duplicate copy sent. I can
be reached at amh@ieee.org .
** There is a membership directory database available in the member's
area of www.aroid.org . Some members have requested a printed
directory be published as well, and we are preparing to print a short
run. If you would like a copy, please let me know.
** The board is has selection of a guest speaker for this year's IAS
banquet on the agenda. If you have an opinion or an idea, please let
me or another board member know. Would you like to see a particular
genus covered? Would you like a more or a less technical talk? Let
your board of directors know.
** Want to volunteer some time to the IAS? Have ideas about what the
IAS should be doing? Interested in joining the board next year? Send
me an e-mail, and I'll try to get you taken care of.
Please remember - replying to this message directly will get it sent
back to Aroid-L, not to me or the board member of your choice.
