	SIGGEN's financial position continues to be extremely healthy. Prior to INLG-2014, SIGGEN had USD 9317 in its sub-account. INLG'14 resulted in a surplus of $1144,20, for a total of $10,461.53. The surplus resulted because INLG'14 totalled $5k of sponsorship income from ARRIA, Microsoft, Amazon and ETS. We are confident in the continued health of SIGGEN finances, in particular since ARRIA has successfully applied for platinum sponsorship for INLG for the next 4 years. The SIGGEN board had conversations in the past on how to spend part of the money, for example by supporting student attendance at INLG. We will revisit those conversations in the near future.
