Executive Committee Meetings
The board had a meeting at ACL on July 31, 2017. Additionally the Board converses regularly by email.
Treasurer's Report
(TO BE UPDATED) The NAACL Chapter's bank account held $73,581.78 as of January 31, 2017. In 2016, our expenditures totaled $28k and were comprised of outlays of $5k to NACLO, two Emerging Regions Fund awards at $1.5k apiece ($3k), $10k for the JSALT Summer School and $10k for video processing at NAACL 2016. (Though it is unclear to us at this time whether this cost was reallocated to ACL central funds, after the decision at the 2016 ACL exec meeting.) At the same time, NAACL 2015 incurred a loss of $36,265.36 which has not been factored into the balance and we are also waiting on how NAACL 2016 fared. To put these numbers in perspective, our bank account last year held just over $90k (our highest in four years) with similar outlays, and three years ago we carried a $41k balance.
