  6. Strategic Analysis • What is our current status? • Weakness – No plan in place for continuity of this position, if the current VP Finance or any other VP position is unable to continue this position. Working with Darin Dunham on this issue. • Opportunity – This is a great opportunity for one of our members to move up in the Society and learn new skills to competently expand resources.

  7. Strategic Objectives • What are our 3 year (long term) strategic objectives? • Put check and balances in the process to improve the AESS initiative planning, and protect surplus. Currently in place by our Treasurer. • The following applies to Society surplus from the Publications – Transactions. Preliminary overlength page charges process has changed. Ejournal no longer providing Excel Spreadsheets for Transactions Business Editor for review/billing approval. IEEE will do the complete work. Transaction publications surplus has increased to about $200,000. • Business Editor available to IEEE for consultation until system runs smoothly. Working with IEEE regarding type of information needed for reporting to BOG. • New plan is for IEEE reprints department to provide a detailed billing vs collected per issue, (6) reports. Extremely difficult to get exact information. Unable to obtain delinquent authors list (Over $35,000 owed to AESS).
