	~~TBD by July 6~~, 2017.		The NAACL board has voted on proposals for two cities in the US for 2018 and 2019. When the contracts are finalized, these cities & dates will be announced. For 2018, the GC will be Lyn Walker and the PC co-chairs will be Heng Ji and Amanda Stent. They are in contact with their counterparts for ACL 2018 and Coling 2018 to coordinate deadlines.

			After much discussion regarding hampered travel across the borders of the US (for people arriving from abroad but also for citizens of other countries living in the US), the NAACL board decided to schedule 2018 and 2019 in the US, given that ACL 2017 is in Canada and most of the chapter membership resides in the US. We also took note of the fact that ACL 2018 and 2019 will be outside the US, and EMNLP 2018 will likely be as well.

			NAACL "July" 2017 Treasurer Report

			The NAACL Chapter’s bank account stands at $46,000. In 2017, our total outlays totaled $18,000: $5k for NACLO (as we have done since 2012), $3k for the Emerging Regions Fund (third year in a row at this amount) and $10k to support four students to attend the JSALT Summer School at CMU in June. In addition, we factor in the loss from NAACL 2015 of $37k and the $29k surplus from NAACL 2016.

			To contrast with summer of last year, our bank account stood at $61k, but before factoring in the $36k loss from NAACL 2015. That year 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.

			The balance of $46k is the second highest it has been at since 2012 for the summer. It is our hope that with continued successful conferences, we will be able to support more initiatives to grow NLP in the Americas.

	Last year, in light of the fact that it was difficult to find candidates for the role of Chair (restricted to individuals who have served on the board within the last five years), and in light of the growing size of our community, the NAACL board put forward to the membership an amendment to the Constitution increasing the number of board members by one. This amendment was approved. Accordingly, the 2017 election will seek to fill three board seats (plus Chair and Secretary).
