Candidate Biographies and Statements OFFICERS Vice Candidate Biographies and Statements OFFICERS Vice President for Outreach and Education Two-year term (2018-2020) One candidate for one position: Ethel A. Scully Ethel A. Scully Position: AIA Governing Board, General Trustee As a General Trustee on the AIA’s Governing Board since January 2015, I am honored to be considered a candidate for Vice President for Outreach and Education. I presently serve on the Outreach and Education Committee and Strategic Planning Task Force, and have previously served on the Executive Committee as well as the Advisory Committee on Development. Outreach and Education are central to the mission of the AIA. As Vice President of Outreach and Education, I would work with all constituents to develop strategies and implement tactics designed to bring that mission to life. Specifically, the mission-driven principles the committee supports are to “promote public understanding of the material record of the human past,” to “educate people of all ages about the significance of archaeological discovery,” and to communicate broadly as we “advocate for the preservation of the world’s archaeological heritage.” In short, the committee will support two of the three key organizational drivers: Educate and Advocate. To that end, I seek to optimize our existing channels of outreach to the general public. More importantly however, the time is right to leverage digital media and partnerships to greatly expand our reach. As the AIA renews its web presence, we will endeavor to develop an educational portal that is the go-to source for K-12 educators. Likewise our nascent Educator programs will benefit from enriched curriculum development and partnership with teaching associations. At first blush, I might appear to be an unusual candidate for this role as I am not a professional educator. I am, however, a professional communicator and avocational educator. My 35 years of experience in the areas of marketing, promotion, communications, strategy, and interdisciplinary team leadership are uniquely suited to educating and advocating. I would work with our rich array of academic members to ensure the quality of technical content. I have been active in archaeology outreach and education at the local level for the last nine years. As a docent for the Archaeology Associates of Greenwich, I have taught a Prehistoric Peoples Program to middle school students in Connecticut and New York. This program takes Paleolithic and Neolithic stone tools to the classroom, and invites students to explore how tool use helped our ancient ancestors adapt. The program has reached more than 70,000 students in the area. I’ve participated in local digs and visit archaeological sites around the world as often as I can. If elected, I would bring many years of organizational experience and leadership skill to the role. My business career was spent in both entrepreneurial and large corporate environments, the last ten years of which were with International Paper Company as Chief Marketing Officer. I’m certain that the skills and competencies developed throughout my career are transferable and could be used to great benefit in this role. I hold degrees from Cornell (B.S.) and NYU (M.B.A.). GENERAL TRUSTEES General Trustee Three-year term (2018–2021) One candidate for one position: Thomas H. Carpenter Thomas H. Carpenter Position: Charles J. Ping Professor of Humanities and Distinguished Professor of Classics at Ohio University, Director of the Ping Institute for the Teaching of the Humanities Thomas H. Carpenter is the Charles J. Ping Professor of Humanities and Distinguished Professor of Classics at Ohio University, where he has taught since 1997. He is also the Director of the Ping Institute for the Teaching of the Humanities and served as chair of the Department of Classics and World Religions for five years. Prior to his university teaching, he served as headmaster of a school in Rome. He holds degrees from Johns Hopkins, Harvard and Oxford and is an expert in ancient Greek religion and iconography. He has published numerous books and articles, one of which, his Art and Myth in Ancient Greece, has been translated into six languages. His recent work has focused on the Italic people of 4th Century BCE Italy, and he recently co-edited the first book in English to focus on these people The Italic People of Ancient Apulia: New Evidence from Pottery for Workshops, Markets and Customs (Cambridge, 2014). He has been a member of the AIA since 1975, and served on the Program Committee for nine years. As a General Trustee with experience as a headmaster, a department chair and the director of an Institute, he will bring the perspective of a mature academic to the board of the AIA. General Trustee Three-year term (2018–2021) One candidate for one position: Josh Gates Josh Gates Position: Host, Executive Producer, Travel Channel’s Expedition Unknown Adventurer, television presenter, and author Josh Gates is the host and executive producer of the Travel Channel series, Expedition Unknown. The show is the highest rated program of the world’s largest travel media brand. In a television landscape where history and archaeology are often endangered species, Expedition Unknown celebrates field science and exploration in a dynamic format while highlighting vibrant cultures and destinations around the world. Josh believes he can best serve the AIA as a General Trustee by supporting the Institute’s mission to preserve and increase the public’s interest in archaeological discovery, research, and education. Josh is eager to explore new avenues to continue to translate the vital, academic work supported by the AIA into engaging content for the general public. Television, the internet, and social media can be powerful forces to help increase the Institute’s visibility and reach and to inspire the next generation of explorers. Josh participated in three seasons of marine excavations at Caesarea Maritima in Israel. He holds a degree in Archaeology from Tufts University (BA ’99). He is also a fellow of The Explorers Club. To date, he has worked in more than one hundred countries, scaled "the roof of Africa" on Mt. Kilimanjaro, and climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Americas. Josh lives in Los Angeles as well as on airport floors around the world. General Trustee Three-year term (2018–2021) One candidate for one position: Tina Edwards Mayland Tina Edwards Mayland Position: Professional Artist My love of history and archeology is personal. As a 9th generation Charlestonian, my family was instrumental in American independence and national and state government, making history not dry dates and facts to me, but rather a personal story. As an extensive traveler, I’ve enjoyed AIA tours to Israel, the Peloponnese, prehistoric monuments of England & Brittany, and Cave Paintings of France and Spain; so, likewise, archeology isn’t dry analytics for me, but rather dramatic insight into human culture and religion. My professional background is as follows: As VP of Marketing for AT&T, I managed a staff of 86 and a budget of $4.7 million, and was responsible for the company’s product positioning, marketing, and event management. My prior background includes being General Manager of the Video Conferencing Division of Sprint, where I had sole responsibility for the Division's P&L, managing the sales team, marketing, customer service and operations. As VP of Marketing for Savvis Communications, I helped take the company public and was part of the management team that grew the company from $16 million to over $300 million. I was also a Managing Director for the executive recruiting firm of Russell Reynolds Associates, helping to build the firm’s technology business. After retiring from my high tech career, I "rewired" to focus on becoming a full-time artist, while simultaneously working at the Lowcountry Land Trust as Director of Development for 5 years. My artwork is currently represented by galleries in South Carolina and Georgia. Regarding how I may be of service to AIA, I believe my participation in AIA Tours, as well as my professional and volunteer experience could help leverage the AIA tours asset for additional educational and donation development. Regarding my service background, I’ve served on several boards, including the board of Middleton Place Foundation (national historic landmark and home to America’s oldest landscaped gardens), and the board of the Property Owners Association for our self-governed island. Locally, I also served 5 years on the board of the Charleston Artist Guild. My education includes a degree in Journalism from the University of Georgia and an MBA from Emory University. Website: TinaMaylandArt.com General Trustee Three-year term (2018–2021) One candidate for one position: Anthony Phokoin Potamianos Anthony Phokoin Potamianos Position: Partner, Sylvina Capital Anthony Phokion Potamianos is the general partner of Sylvina Capital, a private family investment firm based in San Francisco, since 2010. From 2005-2010, Potamianos was a partner and a member of the investment committee of Francisco Partners, a $10 billion technology-focused private equity fund based in San Francisco. Before joining Francisco Partners, Potamianos was an investment banker and research analyst on Wall Street. He served as head of the UBS global semiconductor investment banking group with responsibilities in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Earlier in his career, from 1997-2000, he was an institutional investor ranked research analyst of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette in New York City. Potamianos serves on a number of boards including the American School of Classical Studies/Gennadios Library, Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology, Knightsbridge Schools International, and Elliniki Etairia USA. Potamianos received a Master of Science in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

As host of Discovery Channel’s smash-hit series Expedition Unknown, Gates crisscrosses the globe to explore archaeological wonders and enduring legends. Gates will tell his tales on the AAA Travel Stage Sunday, Feb. 9, 2020 at noon. Following his appearance, EXPO guests will have the chance to ask Gates questions and meet him for autographs. In his latest season of Expedition Unknown, Gates braved sub-zero temperatures to snowmobile across Siberia investigating one of the coldest cases of the Cold War: the baffling deaths of nine hikers on Russia’s infamous “Dead Mountain.” Gates also explored the Holy Land as he descended into newly discovered caves and tunnels that could hold the next Dead Sea Scrolls. An avid adventurer, scuba diver and photographer, Gates has participated in sub-sea archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean, and his wanderlust has taken him to more than 100 countries -- from sweltering African deserts to the icy shores of Antarctica. In addition, he has scaled “the roof of Africa” on Mt. Kilimanjaro and climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Americas. A mysterious “Yeti” footprint recovered by Gates in the Himalayas is now on display at the “Expedition Everest” attraction at Walt Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Fla.

  • Ancient Rome the Spread of Christianity
    Ancient Rome The Spread of Christianity ● The notes on Christianity mentioned that Jesus was crucified, but they don’t go into great detail as to why ○ While there was general religious tolerance in the Roman Empire, people were supposed to put the emperor and Roman gods above all else (remember that Rome was a polytheistic culture prior to adopting Christianity as their state-sponsored religion) ○ Romans were trying to avoid more Jewish revolts and viewed Jesus as a threat to their power (i.e. they didn’t want to get overthrown) ○ In Crash Course World History #11, John Green states that the Romans condemned Jesus to death, not the Jewish people ■ The simple answer to that is that both groups didn’t want Jesus around ■ In the New Testament of the Bible, the Roman Governor of Judea Pontius Pilate literally “washes his hands” of killing Jesus after his wife had a dream about Jesus and she begged for his life to be spared ■ In the same story, the Jewish people in the crowd chose to free a murder known as Barabbas instead of Jesus The Spread of Christianity ● Prior to his death, Jesus predicted that one of the twelve apostles was going betray him (Judas) ● Jesus was crucified on a hill called Golgotha in Jerusalem...if you remember completing a worksheet on the city of Jerusalem way back when, there was a location on the map called the Church of the Holy Sepulchre: the church was built on top of the hill that Jesus was crucified on ● Had we been in school, we were going to watch an Expedition Unknown Episode on finding the cross that Jesus was crucified on ○ Legend claims that Constantine sent his mother Helena to Jerusalem in AD 326 to find the cross ○ Helena found a cross on the hill of Golgotha & in order to prove it was indeed the cross that Jesus died on, she had a sick woman touch it.

  • The American Archivist Reviews Date Posted: December 20, 2018
    The American Archivist Reviews Date posted: December 20, 2018 http://reviews.americanarchivist.org They’re Digging in the Wrong Place: The Influence of Indiana Jones on the Archives Reviewed by Samantha Cross, CallisonRTKL, Inc. Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re chatting with friends, family members, maybe complete strangers and the subject of professions pops up. They ask you what you do for a living, and you reply with, “I’m an archivist.” Their response, “Oh, like in Indiana Jones?” Now, there are a few ways to handle this situation. One, flip every table you can find and drop to your knees shouting at superhero-level “NO!” before setting fire to an expensive coat and leaving a you-shaped Bugs Bunny-esque hole in the wall as you disappear into the wilderness. Two, internalize their ignorance and drive it deep down into the void that was once your soul before everyone started making that same statement. Or three, take the more contemplative approach and explain what an archivist is and why the comparison to Indiana Jones isn’t accurate. I’d recommend the third option, mainly because it’s less psychologically damaging and you’re less likely to be arrested for property damage. But to each their own. Kidding aside, the truth of the matter is that I’ve gotten the Indiana Jones remark more times than I can count, which led me to wonder why that reference is so prevalent. Is it because archaeologist, Indy’s actual profession in the films, and archivist contain the same arch- root word? For the record, archive comes from the Greek arkheia meaning “public records,” which stems from arkhē meaning “government” while archaeology stems from the Greek arkhaios meaning “ancient.”1 Or, is it a genuine misconception due to the fact that the closing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only pop culture frame of reference most people have of archives? From what I can tell, it’s a combination of the two.
