[AGA-sc] Humble request for TAG pay raise

[Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@dustyuniverse.com>]

Hey Y'all,

Now that I have been mostly responsible for TAG for over a year, I hope 
that the AGA BOD thinks I have been doing a good job. I couldn't have 
done it without Karen's help, but gradually I am finding my own way. TAG 
21-1 will be GREAT! However, I am more aware than ever of how much of my 
time is spent on the Journal. I spend on average 80 hours on TAG each 
issue, not counting membership, other publications, and convention stuff.

I receive $600 per issue for editing and laying out TAG. This rate was 
established in 2001. I was not on the BOD then, so I'm not entirely sure 
of the history here. The archives contain a motion to pay the Editor 
$650 per issue, which passed, but I have only been invoicing the AGA for 
$600 because that is the number I got from Karen. Whatever -- I'm NOT 
requesting back pay. Just noting the history.

I am requesting a pay raise from the Board effective TAG 21-1. I will be 
so bold as to suggest $720 per issue based on cost of living increases. 
I remain dedicated to making TAG better and better with each issue. I am 
ALWAYS eager to hear suggestions and criticism to this end.

Naturally I will abstain from voting on this issue.

Cheryl
