NAACL Treasurer's report April 2007 The Chapter's bank account held $31,609.34 at the end of Feb 2007, and hasn't changed much since then. As usual, delays in conference accounting mean that this number is far from the Chapter's true financial situation. The biggest news is that I've basically finished accounting forHLT-NAACL 2004, which will yield a profit of approximately $41,000 and a consequent transfer of about $43,000 to the Chapter's bankaccount. The ACL Treasurer has not yet finished accounting for the ACL2005 conference, from which we get 50% of the profit/loss. I'm going to try to do HLT-NAACL 2006 in the latter half of the summer. Major recent and pending expenses are: JHU 2006 ($8,755), LSA 2007($11,750), NAMCLO ($2,000), and JHU 2007 ($4,350). The chart below shows the NAACL account balance from since I became treasurer, projecting slightly into the future; last year's report shows the restof NAACL's financial history. There is no reason why NAACL cannot continue to operate financially just as it has for the last few years. If there are opportunities for improvement, they seem to lie in: - Developing better policies and procedures for allocating money. This requires us to get more organized earlier. - Being more proactive in raising income, by exploiting commercial connections, and other fund raising opportunities.
