My role as JAG Treasurer entails many duties: some interesting, some tedious, but all important and integral to the functioning of JAG. The most visible and exciting is welcoming attendees at the annual JAG Conference. Assisting and answering questions is of great value to our members. It’s also rewarding to me in several ways.
One of my major duties as Treasurer is sending out invoices for annual member dues. I have gotten to know more of our members (and others responsible for paying invoices) as each year passes. Putting faces to names is invaluable to me. So, greeting members at the conference – in person — is an enormous help. Sometimes this is the only opportunity members have to begin a dialogue with JAG. In this, I have a unique position as a JAG Board member.
This year, I was able to have a conversation with Chuck Ricciardi of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission. The Commission provided a booth at our conference, and as it turned out, Chuck told me that one of the previous interns at my community access facility now works at the Commission; they are very pleased with him. We were also sorry to lose this intern when he went on to college. It made my day to know that he has remained in the industry and that we had given him a start. It was a meaningful conversation.
I enjoyed seeing old friends in person and meeting new ones at the conference. Sincere thanks to all who attended! Vendor support:
