We have had many reports from our members experiencing issues when attempting to renew their membership using their cell phone or tablets.
The IWS website is not optimized for mobile devices to be used to renew or add a new membership, therefore you must use your laptop or desktop computer. This is something we are looking into, and we will notify you of any future updates.

As some of you may have experienced, the Password Reset option on the website was not working. When you opted to reset your password, the system would email you a link and selecting the link would help you reset your password, but instead it produced a time-out error.
This has been fixed now and the error does not occur.
If you have tried to reset your password and have not been successful due to this error, first go to your email and delete all the emails you received titled, “[Idaho Watercolor Society] Password Reset”. Next, go back to the Idaho Watercolor Society website and start the process over again to reset your password, follow the directions by going to your email to find the password reset link.

Vice President
Terms: 1 Year
In an effort to stagger the election of officers, so that we always have experienced people on the board, the only office up for election this year is Vice President. Per last year’s by-laws changes, the Vice President will follow as President when the current President’s term expires, August 31, 2025.
Standing for election is Lynn McConnell
President: 2 years ending August 31, 2025
Vice President: 1 year ending August 31, 2024
Recording Secretary: 2 years ending August 31, 2025
Treasurer: 3 years ending August 31, 2026
It has been extremely difficult this year to get people to step into leadership roles so that our organization can continue to survive. We are also experiencing declining interest in several areas of the State. Therefore, the board is proposing two By-Law changes for membership consideration.
ACTIVE MEMBERS
All watercolor painters maintaining primary residence in the State of Idaho, or in cities with a 20-mile adjacency to the Idaho borderare eligible to become active members of the Society. In order to retain active status, a member must be current on dues and enter work in a Society sponsored show at least once every three years (includes open shows). Active members shall have full voting privileges and shall be eligible to serve on the Board of Directors.
(Cities that fit these criteria include Clarkston, Ontario, Spokane, and Missoula).
2. Changes to President’s Position
OFFICERS OF THE BOARD
The Officers of the Board shall consist of the President, Vice-president, Secretary, Treasurer, the immediate Past-President, and the Regional Directors. If necessary, the President’s responsibilities “may be” shared between two active members. Any two active members who have agreed to share this responsibility, would be put on the ballot for voting by IWS membership, only with majority approval of the current board.
See the voting ballot for the list of cities.
