Kay Wilshusen, RWCS Business/Convention Manager for the past eight years left on May 13, 2005.   Kay was the first Business Manager/Manager of the RWCS and worked with the Board to develop the first budget, Quick Books accounting system, computer programming to increase the efficiencies of registration for Convention.  Kay told the Interim President on her last day that after eight years the “time was right for me”.  When asked what she was most proud of with her years of working with the Society she said it was having a successful Convention.  We thank Kay for the years she dedicated to the RWCS and wish her well in future endeavors.

 

In the interim period, Marcia Hislop, Administrative Assistant will handle the Business Manager functions of the RWCS. Marcia will also coordinate all membership functions. Diane and Dave Hallstrom have graciously offered to coordinate the activities of the 2005 Convention and will serve as Interim Convention Managers.

It is extremely fortunate for the RWCS that Marcia, Dave and Diane are all willing to step up to the plate and assure the transition will be moving on an even keel so members do not experience any undue hardships. 

Recruitment for permanent applicants for the position(s) will occur in the near future.  The Board wants to take some time to review needs of the Society and determine what the final structure of the Business Office will be.  In the interim, however, it gives us great relief to know the necessary duties and functions are being carried out through existing and temporary staffing.

Please note that the new office hours for the RWCS Business Office are 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.  If the Business Office is closed on any day, there will be a voice mail message informing the caller.  A note will also be posted on the door of the Business Office.
