Danner: Co-Editor Regina Stenger: Associate Editor Harold J. Herman: Senior Technical Editor WHAT IS AN AWI DELEGATE? Donna Baas: Production Director Glad you asked! ·someone asked me this and I am going to try to answer him. James Lubic: Technical & Educational An AWI delegate is possibly the most Services Manager important man (or lady) in your state organi Margie M. Brater: Circulation Manager zation, except maybe your president or secre Nancy Wellmann: Business Manager tary. (Texas had a lady delegate this year. Sue Mary Sansalone: Seminar Coordinator Wysong did a great job.) AWI delegates are appointro, electro, TECHNICAL EDITORS: or chosen by their association. Their job is to attend the annual AWI meetingin June and to James Adams Wes Door represent their state in the affiliate chapter Robert F. Bishop Henry B. Fried meeting. James H. Broughton Ewell D. Hartman When tbe delegate goes to the affiliate chapter meeting, he takes Fred S. Burckhardt Robert A. Nelson with him the report of his association's activities for the past year. When he Charles Cleves Archie B. Perkins stands to give his report, he finishes up with any recommendations his Steven G. Conover Marshall F. Richmond association wants AWI to consider. Joe Crooks Marvin E. Whitney For those ofyou who have not attended an affiliate chapter meeting, it is interesting and exciting. You meet the delegates from the other AW/ OFFICERS: associations and you hear what they have done and are doing and hear their recommendations. Alice B. Carpenter, CMW, CMEW: President Once the reports have been heard and the recommendations made, Wes Door, CMW: First Vice President the affiliate chapter chairman appoints a committee to go over the recom James Adams, CMW: Second Vice President mendations and see that-they are worded in such a way that they will be Fred S. Burckhardt: Secretary acceptable to be presented to the Board of Directors the next day. Marvin E. Whitney. CMW, CMC, FAWI: Treasurer The awards banquet is held and the AWI delegate has the option to attend, and I would certainly hope he would. At the banquet, awards are AW/ DIRECTORS: given and certain associations are recognized for various things. The next day the board meeting commences. The AWI delegate is William Biederman, CMW e:i..-pected to attend. He will hear the general business--treasurer's report, James H. Broughton, CMEW each committee's report, etc. The affiliate chapter chairman will make his Buddy Carpenter, CMC, CMEW report, ending with the recommendations to the board. The board will Henry Frystak, CMW consider each recommendation and take appropriate action on each one. Ewell D. Hartman, CMW, FAWI Look at the wealth of information the delegate has access to. Look Gerhard Hutter, CMW at the many bits of information the delegate has to take back to his Gerald G. Jaeger, CMW, CMEW, FAWI association, for that is the other half of his job . to take back to the Robert L. Macomber, CMC association that pays his way, the information he has gleaned while attend Benjamin Matz, CMW ing the annual meeting. Perhaps this is even more important than just Robert A. Nelson, CMW, CMEW coming to the meeting as a delegate, for this delegate is the liaison between A WI and the state organization. Ifthe state organization has a problem, the Joseph L. Cerullo, CMW, CMC: Affiliate Chapter Director delegate is in the best position to inform the state organization of the correct Wit Jarochowski: Research & Education Council Director rou.te to take to solve that problem. Robert F. Bishop, CMEW: Immediate Past President So, Mr. or Ms. Delegate, wear your title proudly. You are the consti tutional route for your association to be heard and the conduit for informa Milton C. Stevens, FAWI: Executive Secretary I tion back to your association. Michael P.
