The period for voting, starting April 1 regarding the Board of Directors’ motion to the HoD for a dues increase ended on May 16, 2008. After allowing time for those ballots mailed to be received at ASSE Headquarters and counted, the official vote indicates a vote to disapprove the motion to increase membership dues by $29 from $120 to $149.
I appreciate the time each of you took to consider the motion and cast a vote on the future of this Society. I also want to express thanks to our fellow members and colleagues of the Finance Committee, Board of Directors and Staff of ASSE for their diligent efforts to present reasoned and sound information bringing this motion forward to the House of Delegates.
Going forward, your colleagues, elected to serve on the Society Board of Directors, will continue to manage the Society in a prudent and responsible manner. We will continue to review the Society’s strategic plan and operations in light of our finances. A focus on strong financials will continue as it has for some years. Non-dues revenue will continue to be emphasized. Current services and products will be reviewed and prioritized. New and proposed services and products and expansion of existing programs will be scrutinized in light of this vote outcome. Our colleagues serving on the Finance Committee will review alternative dues adjustment models and bring forward recommendations based on best available data.
