Treasurer's Report
The NAACL Chapter's bank account held $88,797.07 as of December 31, 2017. In 2017, our expenditures totaled $28k and were comprised of outlays of $5k to NACLO, two Emerging Regions Fund awards at $1.5k apiece ($3k), and$10k for the JSALT Summer School. NAACL 2016 in San Diego was a successful conference: it resulted in a surplus of $29k. At the same time, NAACL 2015 incurred a loss of $36k which has not been factored into the balance. To put these numbers in perspective, our bank account last year held just over $73k with similar outlays, and four years ago we carried a $41k balance.
