2) The Secretary gave a report. 1980 Dues notices were sent in four mailings to
members who had not paid dues. The first 1981 dues mailing was sent to the
entire membership including 1980 unpaid members. A motion was made and approved
by the Council that official stationery be designed by the Secretary and approved
by the officers, listing the names and addresses of the current officers and
listing the names of the past presidents of the Society. Printing and appropriate
postage expenses will be reimbursed by the Treasurer.
3) The Treasurer's report reveals that the Society continues to grow in a steady
fashion. A total of $32,178 was present in the checking and savings accounts
as of December 31, 1980. Net value continues to increase approximately $5,000
per year. Seventy-five percent of current members have paid their 1981 dues
thus far. We lost approximately 80 members in 1980. By the end of 1980 we had
385 members in the Society. Everyone agreed that the Financial Committee should
have stronger input in recommending how the Society's finances should be kept.
The Society needs to have an Annual Report from Lippincott regarding the Journal.
Obtaining local financial support for meetings and the possibility of an interim
postgraduate course were discussed. No formal motions were made.
4) Publication Committee Report - The 11-point outline of thp functions still needs
implementation. The possibility of associate editors was again discussed and the
consensus was that Dr. Bartke ·should proceed with the expanded editorial staff. e Founded in Detroit, Michigan, April 1975
