	~~TO BE UPDATED~~		The NAACL Chapter's bank account held $73,581.78 as of January 31, 2017. In 2016, our expenditures totaled $28k and were comprised of outlays of $5k to NACLO, two Emerging Regions Fund awards at $1.5k apiece ($3k), $10k for the JSALT Summer School and $10k for video processing at NAACL 2016. (Though it is unclear to us at this time whether this cost was reallocated to ACL central funds, after the decision at the 2016 ACL exec meeting.) At the same time, NAACL 2015 incurred a loss of $36,265.36 which has not been factored into the balance and we are also waiting on how NAACL 2016 fared. To put these numbers in perspective, our bank account last year held just over $90k (our highest in four years) with similar outlays, and three years ago we carried a $41k balance.

	The NAACL Chapter's bank account held $90,~~017~~.12 as of ~~December~~ 31, ~~2015~~. This figure takes into account the surplus from ACL 2014, but does not yet reflect the impact of the NAACL 2015 conference. To give context for that balance, this is the highest level it has been since June 2012. The balance for 2014 was $34k and for 2013 it was $29k. In ~~2015~~, our expenditures were ~~once again the sponsorship~~ of ~~external events: NACLO (~~$5k), two Emerging Regions Fund awards at $1.5k apiece ($3k) ~~and~~ the Summer ~~Workshop~~ (~~$6k~~) ~~for~~ a ~~total~~ of $~~14k~~. ~~In short, 2016 begins~~ on ~~a very strong note for~~ NAACL. ~~That being said~~, ~~we should continue to seek out new sources of sponsorship as many fields not previously connected~~ with ~~NLP~~, ~~such as finance~~ and ~~gaming, were major sponsors for last year's NAACL~~.

TO BE UPDATED

The NAACL Chapter's bank account held $90,017.12 as of December 31, 2015. This figure takes into account the surplus from ACL 2014, but does not yet reflect the impact of the NAACL 2015 conference. To give context for that balance, this is the highest level it has been since June 2012. The balance for 2014 was $34k and for 2013 it was $29k. In 2015, our expenditures were once again the sponsorship of external events: NACLO ($5k), two Emerging Regions Fund awards at $1.5k apiece ($3k) and the Summer Workshop ($6k) for a total of $14k. In short, 2016 begins on a very strong note for NAACL. That being said, we should continue to seek out new sources of sponsorship as many fields not previously connected with NLP, such as finance and gaming, were major sponsors for last year's NAACL.
