.. /,. - AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANDROLOGY Secretary's Report of the Annual Business Meeting The business meeting of the 11 th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology was called to order by President Anna Steinberger at 5:36 p.m., April 22, 1986 in the Grand Plaza Hotel, Grand Rapids, MI. In her opening remarks, President Steinberger noted that the Executive Council has considered many committee reports and deliberated on other business on July 23, 1985 and on Saturday, April 19. She also noted that the past year was a good one for the Society in terms of new memberships, increased journal subscriptions, and memberin vol vemen t. The Secretary's report was not read since it has been distributed to the membership following last year's annual meeting. No written addition or correction had been received. The Secretary moved approval of the minutes as distributed, the motion was seconded by Ansbacher; the motion was approved unanimously. Treasurer Brian H. Vickery presented his annual report. A condensed version of this report accompanies the minutes. As of December 31, 1985, the Society had total unrestricted funds of $59,857.85 plus restricted funds (endowment funds) totalling $17,225.00. Revenues during the past year were unusually large because of the 3rd International Congress of Andrology held in conjunction with the 1985 annual meeting. Total revenues in 1985 were $134,682.57 and total disbursements from the operating fund were $143,176.47. Consequently, for 1985 the disbursements exceeded revenues by $11,075.76. The Treasurer emphasized that our cash assets are inadequate since most similar society's assume that their cash assets should be at least twice annual expenditures. Fulfillment of previous pledges, and accumulation of interest, increased the endowment fund by $4,445. Corporate members and sustaining members contributed $1750 to the operating funds this year. The Treasurer noted that Arnold Belker had been successful in soliciting a $5,000 award from National Medical Enterprisers, Inc. (a large national proprietary hospital chain) towards our operating funds. Approval of the Treasurer's report was moved and seconded; motion unanimously approved. President Steinberger reported for the Awards Committee that the 1987 Young Andrologist is Dr. I1po T. Huhtaniemi of Turku Finland. The 1987 Distinguished Andrologist is Dr. Emil Steinberger of Houston, TX. The 1987 New Investigator Award recipient will be determined after abstracts for the 1987 annual meeting have been received. [The 1986 Distinguished Andrologist had been unable to attend the awards ceremony because of illness in his family, and apologized by telegram.] President Steinberger also was pleased to announce, on behalf of the awards committee, that the Executive Council had authorized five travel awards of $100 each, to be awarded annually to help defray the expenses of student members to attend the Annual Meeting of the Society. President Steinberger reported on behalf of the By-laws Committee who had drafted a number of proposed amendments to the constitution and by-laws. Council members will consider these changes at the interim meeting and, if approved, the changes will be submitted to the membership of the Society for their approval or rejection. Arnold Belker reported for the Finance Committee, and again noted the major contribution by National Medical Enterprises, Inc. He reminded the membership that the society needs a continuing base of financial support for annual meetings, and executive secretary, and other society business. He urged them to send the names of potential donors or industrial contacts to him.
