I like them all too and can see where some folks might like a choice! I like #1 the best though!

We have received interest from four volunteers who have, from my understanding, been involved with the Special Projects in some manner for 12 months or more. We need to have that confirmed. The people interested in the vacant position are: Joe Markovich Tina Vickery Adrian Williams Jo Branch Once their participation has been confirmed, we will move into Executive Session in Board-Exec to discuss the volunteers and make a choice. Please enjoy the Christmas and Holiday Season. I will make an announcement in a few days to determine if everyone is ready to begin discussions. Thank you to our volunteers. Your interest is very much appreciated. I am copying the above individuals as well, in the event they are not subscribed to the Board list to review this email.

In that vein, we are now posting a request for volunteers who have been associated with a Special Project for the past 12 months. We truly need to fill this post and would love to hear from those active members of any of the Special Projects who would be interested in filling this position. This position will be filled through the next coming election and the person chosen will serve until August 31, 2016. The person who is selected could also submit their name as a candidate in the next election cycle, and we would welcome the continued interest. If this position interests you and you would like to help make a difference for the Special Projects and work with the Advisory Board, please consider sending an email to either myself and/or any of the current Advisory Board members. Please send your email of interest by December 24, 2015, by 5:00 p.m. EST to any or all of the following: Denise Wells - ncusgenweb@gmail.com Patrice Green - ralusgenweb@gmail.com Nancy Janyszeski - nancyjanyszeski@yahoo.com Mary Ann Lubinsky - maryannlubinzky@gmail.com Jeff Kemp - msgwsc@gmail.com Shirley Cullum - shilrcullum@gmail.com MaryAlice Schwanke - greatupnorth@gmail.com Joy Fisher - sdgenweb@yahoo.com Les Shockey - lesshockey@frontier.com Annie Geoghegan - anniegms@gmail.com Susan C.

I am sending this email to all lists at the present time. Please forward to your appropriate state and regional lists until we have all the kinks worked out in the new Announcement list.

Joy is very active in the Special Projects!! She is the heart of the Archives, along with David and Debra Crosby! We still have many active CC's, including Bryant Walker, Jo Branch, Carolyn Golowka, David Samuelson,and Tina Vickery just to name a few! If any of the Special Projects are no longer active just roll them back into the Archives. Ann Allen Geoghegan AnnieG A Life Without GOD is Like An Unsharpened Pencil - There's No Point.

Joy: One question: I am wondering if you can confirm who is still active in the Archives? I just received an email from Joe Patterson to remove him from Pa Archives. To All Board Members: I have sent an email to all listed members of the Digital Map Library project to try to determine who is active in that project. I have so far received 5 bounces back from that list. Dick Sevier advises he is still active in Louisiana and Mississippi. Joe Patterson states he requested to be removed. Please Joe's name from DML for Pennsylvania. Lucinda Hall advises she was never able to get into the site. I am checking to see if she would like to stay if we can get her into the site. I also have the following question: Didn't the Marriage Project get disbanded? I seem to remember something about that, but am not sure. So, at this point, we have the following other Special Projects: 1. Archives - (1) I believe Shalamar Joe should be removed as every email I have sent to this person, as well as confirmation from another volunteer has consistently failed to obtain a response. Shalamar Joe is listed as a file manager for the states of Indiana, Montana and Wyoming; (2) Joe Patterson is asking to be removed from Pennsylvania Archives. 2. African American Griots - This project is difficult to determine who is in charge of what there. There is a surname registry which lists about 9 pages of surnames and researchers. 3. Tombstone Transcription Project - I note that Jim Cox (Indina) should be removed, as well as Terri Shipp (Minnesota) - has 15 vacant states 4. Obituary Project - 28 vacant states 5. Special Collections Project - appears to be managed by Linda Russell Lewis 6. Pension Project Wars Sending an email blast hoping to garner volunteers from the new national announcements mail list, or posting here to the Board, Discuss or State Coordinator mail list, does not truly occur to me as the best way to locate someone to fill the vacancy position as this position is supposed to be filled by someone with at least 12 months participation as a member of one of the Special Projects. Posting the vacancy is one thing. Determining who is an "active" member of one of the special projects is another and actually reaching them to let them know that there is a vacancy on the Board to represent Special Projects. And then add to that, the knowledge as to whether or not these folks are actually listed as registered to vote and/or participate, which would have them not be reached via any of the previously mentioned means or using the new Announcements Mail list. I know everyone has their own idea about how this is all "supposed" to go with respect to the current Bylaws; however, I am not confident in obtaining any candidates using our "business as usual" process. Business as usual has allowed these special projects to become malingerers over the last several years. That didn't work, did it? The prior election process produced only one possible viable candidate who was actually interested in filling this position. He withdrew for his own personal reasons. Over the years of my participation on the Advisory Board, I have not seen truly active participation in any of the Special Projects. I know there was when they were each originally created and set in place, but this needs different attention handled differently. And the Advisory Board position is limited in what this position can actually do. We need some kind of truly active participation from the project coordinator for each of these special projects and that person needs to be active in managing the volunteers to engage them and keep them active, and to promote the individual projects. Much as a state coordinator should be working with their county coordinators or other volunteers in their state(s). Or, some other decision needs to be made. I get tons of complaints about the process of obtaining a volunteer and about the special projects' condition. If no main coordinator for each of these special projects is going to act proactively with respect to these projects, then what? And from my own personal opinion, those casting aspersions my way about how or what I have done or not done as the National Coordinator, should be taking care of their own responsibilities instead of policing mine. You do not know what I have or have not been doing behind the scenes. I am also still working with the new National Announcements mail list, and other things are also still going on behind the scenes. So, my request is that he or she who be without sin, then that person can cast the first stone. But instead of attempting to manage my responsibilities or asking what I am up to, please tend to your own responsibilities. It does nothing for this project to be posting some of the things I have seen. I have been contacted privately by some individuals who actually are respectful to me and asked me respectful questions politely and directly. Those who like to post messages that are designed to cause upset and aggravation will get no response from me. I am tired of the disrespect shown by some members and you will be ignored. This does not refer to anyone who is currently on the Advisory Board. I hope those who know who they are understand my position. I am actually very easy to get along with unless someone wants to back me up against a wall. Then my Irish might come out. I find it better to ignore those who cannot ask me questions politely and positively.

What are the qualifications to run for the position of 'Special Projects Representative'? Do we need to call for nominees and hold a special election... or is this something the AB can ask for applicants on and vote on? (Like we did for Webmaster) There appear to be 2 pages that list the special projects and their coordinators, I would like to see the coordinator names removed from the page at *http://www.usgenweb.org/projects/index.shtml <http://www.usgenweb.org/projects/index.shtml>* leaving only the links to those websites and descriptions. And that the page at *http://www.usgenweb.org/about/projectcoordinators.shtml <http://www.usgenweb.org/about/projectcoordinators.shtml>* be updated to reflect the current coordinators of those special projects, or show the position 'vacant'. I compared the two pages and their respective websites, these are the only projects that matched all 3 sources: 1. The USGenWeb Archives Project Coordinator - Joy Fisher 2. The USGenWeb Tombstone Transcription Project Coordinator - Kathi Jones-Hudson 3. Special Collections Project - Linda Russell Lewis 4. The USGenWeb Genealogical Events Project Coordinator - Joe Markovich 5. The USGenWeb Lineage Project Coordinator - Freddie Spradlin Just what is the 'state' of our 'Special Projects'?
