I think I have created some committees that should help spread the work out amongst a number of individuals. Now, we just have to start getting people to populate those committee and start things rolling. I remember someone mentioning that there might have been an advertisement for June 1 to be the opening date for the contest. Is this really the case or have we made a decision yet? If it June 1, we better get cracking on making some announcements and getting an advertisement crew together quick. Otherwise, I'd suggest that we push it back to the middle of the month to allow us time to get organized. Anyway, look through the very brief excel doc and make any additional suggestions for additional committees or duties.One additional question, who will do the uploading of the entries into the website? I'm not altogether clear on whether Erik will still be responsible or will others need to take over the duties.Thanks. BailinMore things I found via the archives that will need to be handled... :) * Solicit category sponsors * Send obnoxious reminder e-mails to people who haven't sent in their photo release or paid (I might co-do this with someone)* Design any new banner ads, masthead, and other supporting graphics forthe site and most importantly: * read postings on APC, or sit in a room with forum-heads telling you how much our contest sucks and it needs to be done X way... I beleive that Larry has taken this job most recently - E On Mon, 28 May 2007, Erik Olson wrote:Hi Bailin, Heard you're willing to take on the contest chair job... excellent! I am able to provide support, if desired, in the form of: * mailing list aga-contest@thekrib.com for volunteers * maintenance of the contest website showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org* receiving entries by mail (only a handfull of people do this, so it'snot a problem) * Release of the archive DVD after the contest is overThis is all TOTALLY OPTIONAL, so you may say yes or no to any of these offers. I do not wish to impose anything on your direction & choices!But here's what I am no longer able or willing to do (i.e., the job of the coordinator):* General direction and theme * Getting other volunteers to help * Writing copy for the website, ads, etc * Selection of deadlines * PR campaign (forums, mailing lists, magazines) * selection and contacting of judges * selection of prizes (contact Scott -- probably cash/paypal is best) * ordering and mailing of ribbons and prizes There are probably more things; feel free to ask.There is also the archives of the aga-contest mailing list archives, which have lots of postings that give an idea of what the job entails.The URL is http://lists.thekrib.com/aga-contest Current username is aga-contest Current password is limbo - Erik-- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com_________________________________________________________________Like the way Microsoft Office Outlook works?
