Results of Voting – Sharing Members’ Emails with Sponsors

By All IWS Info

Greetings IWS Membership:

The results of the email sharing survey are in, with 112 of you having registered your opinions, enough for us to make a call.

There were 84 solid “yes, share my email”, with two having conditions we couldn’t guarantee, so I counted those two as “no”.  This was as regards the selling of your address.  You can opt in to this list if you choose, you know who you are.

The following is the only change that we will make:

  • We will create a vendor/donor email list containing all the email addresses of those who voted YES, and it will contain the email addresses of those who did not respond.  Silence is agreement.  Email addresses on this list will be shared (and, only as requested) with our award donors/vendors.  You can opt out of these emails directly with the sender, or revise your opinion with us and we’ll take you off the list.

We will keep separately the INTERNAL ONLY mailing list that is used by Renee Galligher and Karyn deKramer.  The email addresses on this list that voted “no” will not be shared with our donors.

If you would like to see the results of the survey, please let me know and I’ll send it to you.

Thank you all very much for your participation!

Donation Request Template

By All IWS Info

Hello IWS Members:

I was asked at a board meeting to provide a template for donation requests for members from various regions who have asked for this form.  The original form accessed by clicking here was created by Laurie Asahara, and I modified it a little so you could use it in pretty much any donor request situation you might have.

Please modify it as necessary to your specific event, add a link or keep the web gallery from the 2023 show, which is a nice representation of our work.

It’s much easier to get a donation than one would think, most vendors that we have contacted, have been more than happy to donate.  For the vendor, the job of donating is frequently delegated to one particular person in the vendor/donating company who also has to ensure that their company name is getting out there and has the right exposure.

Getting donations ensures that we can continue to provide nice awards for competitive exhibitions of all kinds.

Thanks!

Scott Muscolo

Annual Juried Exhibition Chair
