We are a couple of weeks into the new year of 2023 and it has already been a busy one for JAG, myself and, if I am guessing correctly, for you as well. You know what they say, “No rest for the weary”. But I think for all those involved in our industry, we thrive on this fast-paced environment and the lack of sleep as well!
We held our general elections in December 2022, and the JAG Board of Trustees held their reorganization meeting in January 2023. Here are the results of the board’s elections:
Chair/President of JAG: Bob Duthaler

Treasurer: Linda Besink
Recording Secretary: Anthony Pagliuco

During the JAG Board of Trustee’s Re-organization meeting the trustees did the following:
- Reviewed Trustee Policies and Procedures for meetings and annual calendar

- Reviewed staffing for JAG, job evaluations and goals for 2023
- Reviewed Policies and Procedures, and the structure for handling complaints
- Set the tone for 2023 and will meet again in August during the Annual Board Retreat.

I want to thank everyone for their time and commitment to the JAG Board of Trustees and JAG Executive Board. I am aware of the time and commitment involved in your duties, between board meetings, general membership meetings and the multiple committees that most of you are all on as well. This does not go unnoticed by me or the general membership as well. For anyone who is interested in being part of the many JAG Committees, please reach out to me and I will help you get more involved: bduthaler@jagonline.org I would like to send thanks again to Dave Ambrosy who after 40 years in this industry retired at the end of 2022. Dave leaves East Brunswick after serving as its station manager. In addition, Dave was a JAG Trustee and Executive Board Member, serving on both the Production and Conference Committees. Dave took on handling entertainment for the conference and even played with his band during one of JAG’s event. The board and I wish him a happy and healthy retirement and thank him for his dedication to JAG
