IAJGS ECHO
June 2004
Powerful tools to assist in the effective management and growth of every JGS.

Running IAJGS is a Team Effort
Working alongside 10 elected members of the IAJGS board of directors and a past
president, are additional volunteers who serve on a variety of standing, special, and
temporary committees. There are also past and present special project coordinators. As
local JGS leaders constantly seek new blood to help out, IAJGS also needs to identify,
motivate, and train new people to assist in running our 8,300+ member organization. So,
help out by identifying individuals at the local level to fill one of the openings listed here.
