NAACL TREASURER REPORT

REPORT by Dragomir Radev

My term started in January 2002 so there is not too much to report.

Breaking news: as of today (June 28!), the NAACL exec finally has
check writing privileges!

1. NAACL-01 conference finances. Alon Lavie had done an excellent job
   keeping the conference books so even that task was quite easy for
   me to approve his numbers. After consultations with Priscilla
   Rasmussen and Kathy McCoy, the following are the final numbers for
   NAACL-2001:
   
   Income: $202,927.25
   Expenses: $159,945.34
   Surplus: $42,981.91 of which $33,104.27 belong to NAACL. The
   rest goes the the different SIGs that had workshops at the 2001
   meeting.
   
   
2. ANLP/NAACL-00. The books have been successfully closed. The NAACL
   portion of the surplus amounts to $3,275 which, added to the
   NAACL-01 surplus, gives us a total of $36,379.27.
   
   
3. NAACL shadow account. The NAACL exec, in consultation with the ACL
   exec, decided to create a shadow account for NAACL which will
   include all surplus from ANLP/NAACL-00 and NAACL-01 as well as
   future NAACL events. The account will be used for the following
   purposes: JHU summer school, advances for NAACL-HLT-02, as well as
   for current expenses.
   
   
4. JHU summer school. The NAACL exec decided and the treasurer
   approved $10K from the NAACL budget to be used to fund students to
   attend the newly revamped JHU summer school in Baltimore and to
   also register for ACL-02. Ten students out of 51 applicants were
   funded, with amounts ranging from $475 to $1,225. Owen Rambow's
   report will describe the summer school in more detail.
   
   
5. 2002 NAACL conference. There is no separate NAACL conference in 2002
   (ACL-02 subsumes the NAACL meeting) so there are no numbers to
   report. However, after the SIGs get paid off, the surplus of the
   conference will be shared between ACL and NAACL.
   
   
6. NAACL-HLT-03. A decision was made to create an account with $5,000
   in it for Ed Hovy, Marti Hearst, and Mari Ostendorf for use (after
   NAACL exec approval) for expenses related to the 2003
   conference. As of this time, the account has not been used.
   
   
7. Getting funds from NAACL. If you are organizing an NAACL-related
   event or if you think that you may incur NAACL-refundable expenses,
   please send mail to the treasurer (radev@umich.edu) first. It is
   highly unlikely that you will get reimbursed if you don't get an
   email confirmation from me before you incur the expenses.
