    First I have to say I admire the volunteers who work so hard and give up
    their own
    free creatiive time to keep all moving smoothly. I know it is a big job and
    I am so
    thankful that they take it on. I am also a volunteer with art associations so
    understand that part . One thing that could be corrected by whomever keeps
    track
    of the expenses would be to run NAEA more as a business and less as a
    voluntary
    organization. Dues are paid each year, conference expenses are paid and I
    understand there is a hefty savings account (?). Perhaps if NAEA could make
    volunteers more wanted and appreciated (instead of the desperate call for
    them each year as with the state organizations) then maybe more and better
    demostrations and classes would be given. Starting with identification and
    continuing with covering some of the costs of a presenter over the expense of
    the
    materials. Maybe a percentage of the travel or living expenses - a 10%
    token of appreciation for Nationals- Some fine presenters have been heard to
    complain at my state convention about the money they've spent because of
    supplies they gave out over
    and above the allotted expense money (state is about $50.00 here in Mo.).
    Maybe
    this isn;t possible but I strongly feel that as some people have expressed
    "our presenters should be shown some sort of courtesy that makes them feel
    appreciated
    above and beyond their voluntary capacity". Roberta
