Finances
As of 12/31/2018 the NAACL Chapter’s bank account was $71,164.59 As of 3/31/20 the NAACL Chapter’s bank account was $21,800.69. This includes:
- $36,265.36 payment to ACL for 2015 NAACL loss
- $3000 in ERF payments plus $125 in total wire transfer fees
- $3300 in JSALT payments
- $2500 in NACLO payments
- $2500 to reimburse the CLPsych speaker (temporary emergency outlay, due to be repaid from ACL master account)
ACL 2017, NAACL 2018, and NAACL 2019 profit or loss have not yet been calculated and this profit or loss have not been added to or subtracted from the NAACL bank account total. We must thus continue to outlay prudently throughout 2020.
