Hello Everyone,
Last week to vote in the straw poll on the AYA convention date restrictions!
If you haven't taken a moment to vote in the poll regarding the AYA
convention date restrictions, please take a moment to do so. You can
find the poll here:
http://ayaforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=185
Remember, to vote you need to be logged into the ayaforum.org site
(not just the aya.org site). For more details, see below. To view
the current results of the poll, you do not need to be logged in.
Please contact me if you have any problems with the poll.
If you are an AYA regional director and haven't replied to me already,
please let me know that you were able to forward the message below to
the members of your groups. While I'm sure many members are on one of
the two open forum mailing lists, I do want to ensure that as many AYA
members as possible get the chance to vote in the poll. If you need
assistance, contact me directly and I'll forward on the information I
have available.
Thanks again for your participation!
-Mike

Hello AYA Members,
Recently the subject of expanding or removing the restriction on the
dates in which the membership meeting and annual convention can be
held has received a lot of discussion on the Grumman Gang mailing
list. Currently, the AYA constitution states that "the membership
shall meet once a year, between the dates of June 15th and August
15th" and many have expressed that the date range may be more
restrictive than it needs to be.
So, to better judge how the membership feels I created a "straw poll"
on the AYA Forum. The proposal is to expand or eliminate the date
restriction for the membership meeting and convention. This will not
necessarily change when or where any specific convention is held as
that is still ultimately up to the volunteers that make a convention
proposal to the board of directors and take on the role of convention
chair. All this proposed change would do is to widen the window of
possibilities.
If you have ANY interest in when the convention and membership meeting
is held, I would appreciate it if you would take a few moments and
vote in the poll. It will be available thru the end of July and can
be found at the following location:
http://ayaforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=185
If you have difficulty with the above link, go to
http://www.ayaforum.org, click on the "Log in" link to log into the
system, then go to the "AYA Gatherings" forum and you will find a
posting titled "[ Poll ] AYA Convention Dates - Should the restriction
be changed?". Click on that and if you are successfully logged in you
should see the poll at the top of the posting. Make your selection
and click on the "Vote" button to record your vote.
Please note that you need to be logged into the AYA forum in order to
cast a vote. Also, note that due to technical limitations the
ayaforum.org site has a different login than the main aya.org site.
It is open to all members so if you have not created an account on the
ayaforum.org site, please contact Steve Roberts (ma(at)aya.org) for help.
Account creation details can be found here:
http://www.ayaforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=106
If there is enough interest, I have volunteered to draft a proposed
amendment to our constitution and help with the necessary process. If
there is enough interest and the board agrees, the result of this
process will be sent to a vote of the AYA membership.
Thank you for taking a few moments to express your opinion. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
mwboyd(at)gmail.com.
-Mike
