* Financial Statement:

See attached summary of income and expenses by Joe Stetter.

(Balance as of 22 July 1998 custodial fund: $ 17284.58, Award fund $ 6905.08)

We obtained a lot of help from Cindy in mailing the newsletter - Thanks Cindy.

Executive committee [motion by Tony Ricco, 2nd by Rob Hillman] to transfer $5,000 from general

custodial fund to award fund so that interest on award fund endowment will pay for award.

Approved.

$500 was approved for Boston and $500 for Seattle for speakers for symposia.

* Membership - Petr Vanysek will update membership - last known status is 427 Primary

members and 779 secondary members. This is important to have as high as possible because this is

used in the formula for the society to divide up and credit money to the various divisions. (Added in

proof: 831 listed in the official report for 1997 and 904 for 1998, an 8.8% increase.)

* The new slate of officers was approved [Tony Ricco 1st and Fred Yamagishi, 2nd] and will be

presented to the Sensor Division Membership at the luncheon meeting on Tuesday.

Chair: Peter Hesketh (U. of Illinois at Chicago)  

Vice Chairman: Joseph Stetter (IIT)

Listing with addresses

* Open Discussion:

Tony Ricco was nominated a society Fellow - CONGRATULATIONS Tony and thanks for all the

hard work.

Ingemar Lundstrom joined us - CONGRATULATIONS to Ingemar for this year Outstanding Achievement Award!

Most of our revenue comes from those symposium organizers who agree to produce a symposium

volume for sale. We need volunteers to do this more frequently.

The Sensor Division needs a liaison to the INTERFACE Journal for the next year and Cindy

Bruckner-Lea has agreed to do this. The job will be to report Division News about once each three

months and collect articles for the division focus in Interface when it is our turn [about every three

years at the current rate of publication].

Meeting adjourned 11:20 P.M.

Respectfully Submitted, Joe Stetter.
