[AGA-sc] Fwd: AGA '04 - Photography

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Some of you got this and some didn't.

I know Jay from a few conversations and we hung out
together at one of the NECs and another convention. He's a
plant guy that's worked to increase AGA and plant awareness
in NJAS -- They even have plant program of sorts, thanks to
Jay. Another really nice guy.  He's recently moved, been
building a siseable fishroom and got married a couple of
weeks ago. So I am not sure about how much time he will
have on his hands -- this is why he didn't make NEC this
year. However, he's expressed interest in helping AGA a
number of times in the past -- his offers have hinged
around the photography angle. And I expect him to continue
attending the AGA conventions

Forget about whether he's highly skilled or just learning
about photography -- I think the salary he's asking makes
this a no brainer. There might be some expenses (although I
can't think of for what), but with digital photography,
there won't be film costs and he's obviously not asking for
transportation.

I am very inclined to adding Jay as photographer, not as a
Board position but a new "off-board" position.
