MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Bill Braman, PhD, PAS

It is a distinct honor to serve as your ARPAS President this coming year. ARPAS is a very robust and dynamic organization and my goal is to continue to make ARPAS relevant to your needs as a member. ARPAS has gone through a major transition the past few years as several new regional chapters have formed that have increased the “grass roots” support for our ARPAS organization. Under past-President, Randy Shaver, several initiatives were started in 2009-10 which we will continue through my term as President.

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE VP

Kenneth R. Cummings, PhD, PAS, Dipl. ACAN

ARPAS has had a great year. Our membership is growing, progressive, active and willing to serve. Being mid-way through my third year as your Executive VP, I can use past experiences to guide me on routine tasks which allows me to focus more efforts on new programs, new chapters and membership growth.

TREASURER'S REPORT

Carl Hunt, Treasurer

This report reflects the financial status of ARPAS at the time of the last finance report which was May 31, 2010. To begin it is a pleasure to report that ARPAS remains on solid financial fundamentals with income and expenses to date generally on track with that which was budgeted for the current year. Revenue from membership is at $118,315 which is 95 percent of what was budgeted for the year. Currently the revenues from the journal outpace journal expenses by more than $11,400 for the year so there is reason to be optimistic that our journal expenses will be covered by journal revenues for the year. In addition to journal expenses, the expense for “administration and governance” is our other big ticket expense category (about 55% of the annual budget). With 42% of the budget year expired as of May 31st, our expenses to-date for administration and governance is 33% of that budgeted. In summary, I do not foresee a reason that ARPAS will not complete the current fiscal year with expenses in balance with revenues.
