The reading of the minutes of the interim rreeting of the Executive
Council of 23 September 1989 were dispensed with, and the minutes were
approved as previously distributed to each member.
Treasurer's Report (Dr. Brian Vickory) :
The net worth of the Society was of April 2, 1990 was $121,751, a
decrease in net worth for the Society over the previous year. The Treasurer
indicated that it was possible that the assets of the Society would continue
to decline through the current fiscal year as income fram the new contract
with Lippincott was still uncertain. The Treasurer recommended the Society
must develop rrethods of cost savings in its operations and develop new
sources of income if Society's finances are to continue in gocx:l shape. There
was · discussion of the Treasurer's report relative to the "cost centers"
recc:mnended within the budget by the finance committee and the failure of the
Society to achieve the previously stated projections for those cost centers.
The report (see attached) was approved.
Business Manager's Report (Bob Schmidt) :
The Business Manager reported that as of December 31, 1989, there were
690 regular members of the Society and 67 student members. The 1989 records
indicate that 67 new members joined the Society, but 70 members did not renew
their rrembership fram the previous year. The list of previous members who
did not renew their membership were provided to the Council and to the
Membership Corrmittee Chair who has already contacted these people inviting
membership renewal. The Business Manager asked council whether the Society
should publish a rrembership directory annually or every second or third year.
A motion was made and passed that the directory be published every second
year. It was the sense of council that the rrembership directory should
include the degree designation of each member and that · the list of the
descriptors for the different subspecialities or designators of rrembers
interests should be checked to make sure that it is appropriately inclusive.
The report of the Business Manager was accepted.
