Just as an FYI for all you SIGNA-ites and species folks…
 
The page about the Saturday Symposium (May 27) is due to go live any day now on our website (ais2017.wordpress.com), but I wanted to get this to you in advance in case you wanted to promote through your lists, etc.  I have attached two promotional photos from Tony Hall.  His program description is below:
 
9:10 a.m.              The Juno Iris Species by Tony Hall, Royal Botanic Garden, Kew
About:  Tony Hall came to horticulture relatively late in life after an early career in music was cut short. While still in his 3rd year as a student at Royal Botanic Garden Kew (RBG Kew), he was appointed Manager of the Alpine and Bulb Unit where he, along with Brian Halliwell, built up the collections of natural source material that made the Unit renowned. He also transformed the Woodland Garden at the base of Cumberland Mound into a plantsman’s paradise of shade-loving species. He oversaw the landscaping, development and displays of Kew’s world-famous pyramidal Alpine House, sadly demolished in 2004. He has contributed to Curtis’s Botanical Magazine, The Alpine Garden Society (AGS) Bulletin and the British Iris Society (BIS) Yearbook and Species Group Newsletter, among others, and has lectured around the world. He was awarded Kew’s Gold Medal in 1979, the Foster Memorial Plaque by the BIS in 1998 and the Lyttel Trophy by the AGS in 2000. He is an Honorary Associate of the Royal Horticultural Society and was made an Honorary Research Associate at RBG Kew on his retirement just over 12 years ago (the only member of Kew’s horticultural staff ever to receive an Associateship). He has described several new iris species in the last few years and is working towards a complete monograph of the juno irises in conjunction with Arnis Seisums of Latvia.
 
We’re looking forward to May already!

Will,


I am sorry to rush you on this since you were recently selected to the SIGNA President but, I need to have the information by February 20 so I can get it to Judy Keisling by February 26 to go into the 2017 convention booklet.  Please let me hear from you.


Thank you,

Paul,
The truth is that we weren’t sure who would be prez.  I was supposed to be rotated out of the job, but it was unclear whether we had a replacement.  I only found out I wouldn’t be needed about a week ago.

Ken,
 
Thank you for responding back with the information.  I was not aware you were not the president any longer.  The SIGNA website still has you listed as the president.
 
I will await a response from Will Plotner.
 
Thank you,
 
Paul

Ken,
 
I am working on the 2017 programs list to be put in the 2017 Convention Booklet and I need to know the following information.

1)  Who is doing the program?
 
2)  What is the title of your program?
 
3)  What will be his/hers a/v needs for the program?  The 2017 Convention Committee will furnish the microphone and screen.  I need to know if we also need to furnish a digital projector and laptop or will he/she being bringing their own equipment.
 
The SIGNA program is scheduled for Wednesday, May 24  3:00pm – 4:00pm.
Please let me hear from you.
