NBD Meeting Summary • Financial Status – to be discussed by Dr. Yoonsoo Park • Scholarship Payout –increase the allocation from last year’s 50% to 87.5%. This means that National Board will allocate about $30,000 more in Chair Scholarships to our region. • Chair Scholarship Term Limit – Repealed our decision to limit the life of our future Chair Scholarships to 25 years. Instead, agreed that a better solution to protect our endowment base is to adjust our scholarship payout amount and/or combine several scholarships if and when we experience unusual downturn in the market. • Future Chair Scholarship Amount - Increase the amount of future Chair Scholarships to $25,000 and set the payout percentage to 4% to generate $1,000 scholarships. • 2012 National Board Election – Elected Dr. Sang Name Lee as the new Chairperson for the National Board; elected Mr. Benjamin Nah as the new NB Secretary; elected Leonard Kim as the Executive Director. Their terms will start in 2012, just in time to host our next National Board meeting in our area next year. Korean American Scholarship Foundation
