CONGRATULATIONS TO IASD'S NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS; THANKS TO THE IASD MEMBERSHIP

IASD would like to extend congratulations to new board members and officers who took office at the second board meeting of the Annual Membership Conference in Montreal, Quebec on July 12, 2008. These changes would not have been possible were it not for the cooperative work of IASD's membership in ratifying newly revised corporate bylaws and establishing revised Articles of Incorporation during the annual Membership Meeting held at the conference on Thursday, July 10. 

This legal step, ending a year of work on bylaws revisions from the IASD Board and particularly its Bylaws Committee, chaired by David Kahn, means that the organization is now fully in compliance with nonprofit statutes in the state of California, where IASD is incorporated. Thanks to all. 

Board members gaining office through membership vote this year were: Nick Brink (reelected), Ernest Hartmann, Deborah Hickey, Jacquie Lewis, and Gunnar Sundstrom (reelected). One of the changes necessitated by the new bylaws was that board officers must also be board members, requiring that the Board select a certain number of individuals to become board-elected board members. This number was set by the Board at seven. The following members, including five Board officers and two other new members were then elected to the Board, on the recommendation of this year's Nominating Committee: Jean Campbell, Chair; Olaf Gerlach-Hansen, President; Robert Waggoner, Vice-President/President Elect; Robert Hoss, Treasurer; Robert Gongloff, Secretary; David Kahn; Wendy Pannier. 

All new board members, including the seven board-elected members, will have terms of three years. Officers of the Board, who act (at the will of the Board) as the organization's management team, serve for only one year. Thus officers will be selected by the Board from among its members again next year, and each year upcoming.

THE "QUIET CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT IASD” 

The "Quiet Campaign to Support IASD" was announced at the Montreal Conference by President-Elect Robert Waggoner. After enjoying Rita Dwyer's nostalgic retrospective of IASD's 25 year history and growth, members were invited to support the future of IASD and dream study by contributing to the newly formed Heritage Fund. The objective of the Heritage Fund committee is to conduct "The Quiet Campaign" in which no one will be directly soliciting or calling members for donations; rather, the committee intends to quietly remind past and present members to promote the future of IASD and dreaming through gifts and bequests. So remember, when you see "The Quiet Campaign" and www.IASDHeritageFund.org, to consider IASD's impact on your life and how you can help future generations to experience that same impact.

To discuss supporting the future of dream research, education and outreach, contact any member of the IASD Heritage Fund committee: Cynthia Pearson or Robert Waggoner, co-chairs

As there is hardly the time during this meeting to thank
Those who helped put this conference together top rank.
I must take then just a few minutes to say
That most of the time it was not work felt like play.
Top of my list and first to toast Bob Hoss; otherwise known as Soap Box Bob,
Say what you will, he does know his job.
This person dismayed me on occasion to see,
How even I so sure the one who was right it was me!
Well then wake up I had to for here he stood again,
98.9 percent of the time right to my shagrin!
But seriously Bob, don’t know what I would do,
Putting a conference together without the likes of you.
“Say it in fewer words, Layne” his sagest advice.
And yes he had to tell me that more than twice!
Laurette Dupuis a mythodical one. Nothing like me who loves to jump the gun.
“Let’s think about this,” she would offer, as there she sat,
Having to hear me say “Oh! I already did that!”
A balance we created as opposites often do.
No doubt somewhere in the middle was the learning so true.
Laurette was determined work the Program Schedule on line
Her idea it turned out Google docs was devine!
And a database manager no finer is there,
Sylvia Green-Guenette must have spent months in that chair!
By her computer so diligent no time to spare.
So accomplished is she and yet has no air.
Nicole Gratton program planner extra-ordinaire,
Claude Desloges at her side, they made quite a pair.
In putting together the track en Français,
Deserving a drink let's have Beaugelais
Multi-tasker she is that Nicole Gratton,
You should see her PR,
Aussi que c’est bon!
And wait she did the Dream Ball too,
Along with Kim Vergil, so talented new
To IASD oh how fortunate we,
To have such a firecracker another like me!
Like Nicole that Kim, multi-tasker as well, co-curated the art shows knew all who to tell.
Rose Maloukis and Linda Venne both curators too,
Two art shows created and what a to do!
Richard Wilkerson I know as Trusty RC,
Always there at the helm, speedy responses to me.
And the humor that went back and forth on the net,
Was for overwhelmed me to laugh a good bet.
He has the answers to everything tech,
And never lets on if you’re a pain in the neck!
RC’s accepting attitude rather say, “What the heck”!
And then there’s Liz Diaz
Put together our site like a whiaz!
Another who is there till wee hours of the night.
Always wanting to make sure it all looks well, just right.
There must have been emails two thousand an easy guess.
Liz able to come through at times what seemed like a mess.
And go see that site I beg all of you.
Pages and pages of smart work did she do!
And who did that French a bilingual site?
T’was Flavia Garcia worked all of her might.
I am flabbergasted, jealous, and so very impressed.
She's so fluently bilingual, who could ever have guessed?
Bernard Welt did logistics, told us where to go……
Well I don’t mean like that, I mean he's in the know!
The maps of the city did Irina Dynnik.
Believe me tailoring Google to suit us no picnic.
Another one new to IASD.
Much more of you, we'd love to see.
Jean Campbell, in advertising she stepped in late.
Me I was worried we so late out the gate.
A surprise she was I never knew,
An ad pro I had and a confident too.
The Countdowns you saw were Jean’s brilliant mind.
It seems it worked to enthusiasm wind.
And for me it was fun snapping pictures with those,
Who you’d meet here to help your stay as it goes.
Lana Nasser who I met in Bridgewater as part of my staff,
Who helped cut my work time there literally in half,
Was amazing to accept Staff Coordinator this time.
And believe me it’s hard those who drop out on a dime!
To work out the schedule a puzzler you must be,
And here you sit Lana, successful we see.
What a great job you did, for everyone glee!
Oh let us all thank your volunteers too,
For helping us all through the conference it’s true.
When I’m done like to give you all applause a big round.
Keeping all us attendees our feet on the ground.
Anne Frey, a dear friend, you are not the last.
That Dream Date Auction you did think of fast.
I dragged you in, though you thought you were through.
You have to admit a good time we had too.
But oh how you know to make money you do!
Hysterical laughing even in anger we knew.
While Richard was fielding registrations like mad
Demi Gilbertson was entering spreadsheets iron clad!
So easy to follow and boy was I glad.
We’ll miss you Dear Demi not here oh so sad.
Registration's team, Mimsi Lemar, Deborah Hickey
I’m resisting to say they are here for a quicky!
Seriously folks, organizational skills
Beyond recognition those beautiful girls.
The budget was run by the two both named Bob.
Wagonner and Hoss kept all costs in line to insure we don’t sob.
Last but not least is Mary Pat Lynch.
Editing skills to Mary a synch!
And a woman who so knows to step up to the plate,
A deadline freak…. We were never allowed late!
Ideas just flow right out of that head.
Meticulous worker understatement said.
Artist Catherine Champagne had it all put to bed this Program Book oh so easily read.
What proud moment you two must have had when you saw
That Program Book you created, I’m in awe!
So there you have it folks my committee you see.
If I hadn’t had you all would have been poor me!
A terrific conference and a team like no other.
It makes me feel proud just like a mother.
