updates and changes to IHMSA, the News and the website
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:33 am
First, As of July 17th, Steve Martens is our New IHMSA president. Please welcome him and Make his turnover a pleasant one.
The website front page has a lot of out of date information on it. Hopefully, between me and Proclaim, we can get the site updated. we also need to get the regional and state information updated. such as Florida is missing in all the regional info..
As most Know, IHMSA is now an All Volunteer organization. IHMSA now has no full time employees. Both me and Cindy Smith as IHMSA headquarters work full time and perform our duties when we are not working. Just remember that things may not get done in a fast and timely manner but it will eventually get done. please be patient with us!
another is the membership database. after me looking at certain information. the file used is way out of date concerning what information is stored. This is something I am working on and hopefully we can get a program developed that will simplify operations for both Me and Headquarters.
Also, We had some volunteers to try to update the Match program so that it will include the newer categories and will work with newer Windows operating systems. if they succeed, we should have a Match program that will work with Windows 7 and above. And maybe they can make a MAC version also!
And as for the News, I am attempting to bring back articles of more interest to our membership. this I hope will provide Tips and tricks that can help New and Older members alike.
And I will post this Concerning Practical Hunter: The Following got missed last year and was an Approved Rule change:
The Use Of Higher Variable power Scopes will be allowed, But must not be used over 6x during the course of fire. The Use of Fixed power scopes over 6x is not allowed
Before I can get this included into the rule book, I need to get approval from the rules committee in the wording.
The changes that were voted on during the 2015 world champs I will be providing to the membership when I receive them.
and, Someday we will get the Financials Up to date to the membership. Warren Alkire Technically resigned in 2013 and we still do not have any nominations for Secretary/Treasurer. even though Warren is still doing the minutes of the meetings, Headquarters is attempting to provide financials. This is actually a little out of Cindy's expertise and she is learning new software to help provide the Financial reports. She is doing this along with the Normal Headquarters operations, so Again, Please be Patient.
as you see, there is a lot of work needed to get IHMSA up to date.
