Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology 1982

              June 3, 1982
Treasurer's Report
Thomas J. Lobl
1. The attached statements fairly represent the financial status of the ASA.
Inspite of the fact that in the first half of the year most revenues
accrue. we had a net loss of about $1000 in cash reserves. The second
half of the fiscal year wiJl be mainly disbursements. Only 65 members
are still delinquent in dues. The ea~ly fall dues collection for 1983
dues will give the ASA an apparent one time cash bonus for the bookkeeping
year 1982. Real income, of course, is not changed.
2. Council approval is needed to offer members a one time life membership
pa.1Tolent for $1000. The iiloiley will then be endowed while the interest
can be used to pay the dues and other needs of the society. The consti­tution
needs to be changed to guarantee that the principal cannot be spent.
3. A dues increase is needed unless a way can be found to bring in an extra
$6000/year in disposable income. The society is now deficit spending
because of the needs of the journal office. The council must face this
issue. Either fund raising, donations or increased dues are needed to
eliminate this dificit. Every council member should solicit for
corporate donations to the ASA. Members should be solicited for endowment
donations. Unless Council objects members will be asked to make a donation
to the endowment fund when they get their dues request form.
4. Journal of Andrology subscriptions will be terminated for all unpaid members
after the May/June issue is circulated - - unless Council objects.
5. We need to implement the promised benefits to sustaining members if
we expect to get continuing donations.
6. We need to point out to some members that the ASA is not a rich society
and cannot be expected to pay for every· service that a big society can
afford. The ASA still needs donations of time, money and services in
kind and should not be asked to reimburse the voluntary help unless
absolutely necessary. ~~ii:hout a continuing spirit of voluntarism the
society is in for some very difficult times. The pioneer days of the
ASA are not over yet.
