4 Trends Average age on the EB is ~56 Tenure ranges from 20 years Most of us are paying for our participation ourselves Conferences are attracting about 10 - 15% of the ACDM membership …others to add, Joe and Ram?

5 ACDM General Membership Business Meeting – Treasurer's Report (Ram, need your $ and associated numbers – and do you want to do the treasurer’s report yourself or have it in these slides?)

6 Challenges Membership numbers are static – We would expect to see them growing, and we are looking hard at why they are not $40 is a reasonable membership fee Some members will not pay that, themselves, and their organizations will not pay it, either, it seems The organization is being hurt by the state of the economy – Conference attendance – BOG participation ACDM can flourish if it serves the needs of the target community – We are looking at additional and different ways to do that We may streamline the BOG by considering downsizing and re-organizing resources and responsibilities – We have operating funds, and they are very closely managed Some challenges are plain – others are complex – and some are in tension with others.

7 Forward Path Maintain plans for the next 3 conferences – Hotel contracts are in place for Sandestin, FL (2012), Walt Disney World, FL (2013), and Savannah, GA (2014) – We will not do a look-ahead for 3 years’ advance planning until 2013, and then only if we see growth and thus reduced risk Selective presentations that support carefully chosen themes and activities (roundtables, workshops, and other approaches that yield positive feedback) Becoming more proactive in soliciting new members – Devoting a BOG position to membership Reviewing the cost structure of membership and conference attendance Expanding the concept of regional symposia New website is debuting in April to better serve the membership WE BELIEVE THERE IS A PLACE IN THE CDM COMMUNITY FOR ACDM!

8 What we do is crucial to the organizations we support! WE BELIEVE THERE IS A PLACE IN THE CDM COMMUNITY FOR ACDM!
