Patricia Anis (Patty), Executive Director, is probably a name and voice all of you know. She is the glue that holds our organization together. Patty's position is part time, but her responsibilities are full time. In addition to running the day-to-day aspects of our Association, Patty does the layout of Press Pass and a an ever-growing list of other responsibilities. What amazes me about Patty's disposition is her kindness. She remembers correspondence and phone conversations with our members and continues to keep me informed about concerns and compliments.
Marilyn Green, Editor of Press Pass is also editor of several other travel publications. Marilyn manages to pull together story opportunities, outlets, and guidelines that many of our members use to gain most of their assignments. Marilyn's continual diligence and commitment, provide us with a valuable publication. For me personally, this publication was one of my reason's for joining IFWTWA and it keeps improving.
Kim Rahilly, Editor of Global Writes has
become a name we've gotten to know during the past two years. As a new member, she took on volunteering to edit Global Writes. Her experience and editing skills have helped us tremendously. Kim clarified our guidelines and has gotten us on a good track. Our readership is growing at a steady rate. You can see Kim's Author Services ad in Press Pass or contact her at (310) 210-5968.Timothy Lack, Webmaster, is responsible for redesigning the IFWTWA and
Global Writes websites. I've worked with Tim a long time and getting him to agree to work with IFWTWA was a coup. I exaggerated the time involvement, but to our benefit, he is hooked on the organization and believes in our success. We've always been able to brainstorm and he can turn ideas and thoughts into reality on the Internet. I just need to allow him the time to implement the changes as he has to take care of his clients that pay. He keeps Global Writes and IFWTWA sites working. If you are looking for a web site designer, check out
Charlotte County Websites. As you can tell from Tim's photo, he likes to fish. His request to you, "Please sign up for the RSS feed or E-mail on the Global Writes site. That will help increase the readership which will benefit all of you."
Now, you've seen the photos of the names you see regularly. I hope they help you feel like you know us a little better. I know you could have looked all of these photos up online, but sometimes, we just don't take the time. In addition, this gives me an opportunity to thank these four people again personally. I along with the rest of the Board appreciate all you do.
Taking part in our press trips or Regional activities as we get more going (which takes volunteers like you), will provide valuable networking. Join us when you can.
