Boy, a cold, wet day here - hard rain with snow predicted for tonight. Actually a bit early for our area but not unusual. The dogs love it, the donkeys hate it. I would love it if it was a quiet day where I could curl up on the love seat in the corner with the dogs all around me, a good book & a mug of tea :))
On the DWAA scene, I have a few concerns about the roster. Doing the roster has to be a real pain & keeping it current very difficult; especially nowadays when people change internet servers at the drop of a hat. However, with the election approaching, ballots will only go out to Professional members. That is how our bylaws read.
With that in mind, I see that a Board nominee & our new newsletter editor are both listed in the roster as Associates. Both of these people are actually Professional members ( no question about that!) Their error in the roster listing was caught because they are somewhat high profile. So how many other members out there are incorrectly listed? Normally this wouldn't matter that much, but with an election that is actually contested, this is a serious problem. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? And in the short time we have before ballots are printed & mailed?

There's also at least one person in the roster who's listed as a professional member, but who actually hasn't belonged to DWAA at all for at least two years.
Would take some time. But an email to all in the roster, asking them to check accuracy and get it fixed, would be the way to go. If they don't care, fine. If they do care, they can address the situation themselves--it should be up to individual members to follow up. And if they can't get it fixed for whatever reason, they should document that.
I guess you should put out a call to ALL members asking them what they THINK their status is and compasre to the roster. That's a good start!
