- 33. At first, the presidents had to serve until they could “find” someone to take their places. Membership in AAVA was $1.00 per year. At first, the conferences alternated between the colleges now called HSU and UCA. Once (1972) three members (Rankin, Lawrence, and Garrison) underwrote expenses for the whole conference which was in Russellville and a huge success! TRIVIA
- 34. Herb Lawrence was Treasurer from 1978 to 1993 and Pat McDonald took over serving from then till now ---AAIM won’t let you go! Pauline Rankin has been a member since 1967 and is now a professor at La. State University. She was president of AAVA when Ferrel James became a member when he was a student at UofA.
- 35. MORE TRIVIA Ferrel James got involved by designing an early journal cover and writing an article He went to conference and met Herb, Cecil Garrison, Heloise Griffon, and AG Kirby and knew Bumpass as a professor at UofA Ferrel thinks his involvement with AAVA helped him get his job at UCA where he was before UALR
- 36. 1975 saw Dave Spillers come to UALR, Ferrel James to UCA, Dennis Fleniken to Tech, and Jim Shuff to HSU; Garrison was at UCA and Herb at AETN and Kirby at UAPB Heloise Griffon was in charge of the ADE AV Service film library John Cheek has been President twice—the only brave soul

- 54. For a good example of how AAIM ropes you in, look at me, for instance. I have been a member since 1988 and since then I have served as Membership Chair (for 10 years), Media Festival Chair twice, President once in ’95-’96 and next year again---and Board Member several times. I have written articles for almost all AAIM journals since 1989 and presented at all conferences since I joined. I even had time to scan the old archive photos and author this slide show. So I know---when you get involved in AAIM— YOU GET INVOLVED!
