• Focused on a providing relevant membership products and services
• Both traditional and new programming is planned in 2012
From the Treasurer’s Report
• At the end of each fiscal year, the surplus/deficit is added to the previous year’s balance to
comprise the A&WMA’s Fund Balance (FB)
• Note, FB comprises part of the Cash/Investments.
• In the “for-profit” world, you would term these funds our “retained earnings”
• Our fund balance is approximately $800K
• As of 12/31/11 – A&WMA Investments/Cash are estimated to be approximately $1,162,165
with $556K invested in Mutual Funds and $501K in Certificates of Deposits earning 4-5%.
FUND BALANCE
Regarding: Election for the Board of Directors 2013
The selection of the A&WMA Board of Directors is an important
process because a great deal of responsibility is entrusted to
them. They possess considerable talents and leadership skills, and
the strength of the group comes from the different areas of expertise
each brings to the table. The Nominating Committee has carefully
completed the process of identifying a slate of candidates for the
positions of President-Elect and Directors (term beginning January
2013). The slate has been approved by the sitting Board of Directors
and will soon be presented to you, the membership-at-large, for
voting. While the A&WMA elections have typically been
held in the Spring of each year, this year the election
for the newest members of the A&WMA Board of
Directors will be held this coming July – August. This
later ballot schedule was necessary due to several factors including
the need to institute a new user-friendly and completely secure webbased ballot system. In early July, notice of the Board of Directors
election will be sent to you via email and US postal mail, as well as
posted on the A&WMA website. Please exercise your right as a
member to vote for our Association’s highest leadership
positions. Your support is important to the future of the Air & Waste
Management Association and the profession.
