AER Council of Chapter Presidents Town Hall September 4, 2012

Update on Chapter Benefits – Bette Anne Preston Today’s Main Topic – Membership Recruitment and Retention – Matt Hogel Insight from AER Chapters – Virginia, Illinois and Ohio

From AER’s President AER Financial Information For many years AER spent much more than it generated in income. In 2010, due to a very successful international conference, a small surplus was achieved. However at that point there were virtually no reserves left and the forecast for 2011 was again for a deficit. Taking office in July, 2010 AER President Patricia Leader recognized that something had to be done to move AER’s financial position in a more positive direction. Through her leadership the AER Board of Directors passed a policy that required the budget to reflect a one month surplus (approx. $85,000) in International Conference years and a break- even budget in non-conference years. Cuts were made in expenses for governance, travel and the Journal, however, a deficit budget was still forecast for To adhere to the new policy, further adjustments were required and it was suggested that chapter rebates be reduced from 20% to 10%. A by-laws change to accomplish this was approved at the membership meeting at the International Conference in July A savings of approximately $55,000 will be realized in 2013 that should enable the mandated break-even budget to be accomplished. One of the main arguments for the change was that AER needs to survive for the chapters to survive. Total membership numbers have been declining for several years and that continues to put pressure on our finances. No one wanted to reduce chapter rebates, however, it was necessary for AER to be financially viable and to sustain a needed level of member benefits. In the future, if AER is in a much stronger financial position, the by-laws could be changed again and the rebates to the chapters could be increased back to 20%. Jim Adams

Offer grants for professional development and projects 4. Offer financial incentives to current members to bring in new members ($25 off membership fee for each new member) and, if live far from conference, cost reduction in conference fee. 5.
