RE: Update
The responses regarding having our Business Office handle the pre-registration
for 1991 were in support of that idea. There was only one vote suggesting some
reservations, but the remaining nine votes were strongly in support of having pre­registrations
performed by the Business Office. I have been in touch with Bob Schmidt,
our Business Manager, and he will charge us $3.00 per registrant to perform those
services. It will include making a name tag, putting together an envelope on each
registrant, incorporating certain items (for example, a banquet ticket) in the
envelope . He will update Bernard Robaire at weekly intervals regarding the
registration progress.
The 1991 Program has been finalized. The last speaker for the PG Course has been
identified, and it looks like a good program, We are working out the details with
Bernard Robaire regarding the overlap with the Testis Workshop. Such things as format
for the booklet have been finalized. Bernard will clear with the New York Academy of
Science that the same manuscript that they will publish will be published in our PG
Syllabus. The PG speakers will give 45-minute talks.
The add-on second postgraduate course is very complete, and includes experts in
a variety of disciplines. Ron Lewis has gotten good responses from contacted potential
participants. They will each write a manuscript and this will be published in Journal
of Andro1ogy. We are pursuing several different approaches to help cover the cost.
Ron has gotten commitments from pharmaceutical companies and that should cover
virtually all of our potential expenses; however, we are also attempting to work out
a deal with Lippincott, whereby we might also publish those proceedings as a monograph,
and perhaps share the sales proceeds, to use those funds to cover the costs.
We do not have the final figures for the net profit for the 1990 Meeting. My
best estimate is that the Society made $16,000-$17,000 here in Columbia. Our rough
expenses included a total hotel bill, including all of the hotel expenses of about
$20,300, our speaker expenses were about $9,000, and other incidental expenses ran
about $3,100. According to our figures, we took in a total of $49,900. Therefore, I
