Based on remarks made at the 2019 ASPRS/ILMF Annual Meeting, Denver, Colorado
will start my brief remarks with the assertion that the Society is in excellent hands
and we have a clear vision for the way ahead! We have overcome some difficulties
in the past couple of years through the hard work and determination of the head-
quarters staff and the Officers working closely with Managing Director Karen
Schuckman, the committee chairs, Region officers, and Division Directors. As we
celebrate 85 years as a professional society, we can look back at a rich history of
scientific excellence and a consistently high quality of professional services.
President Hillyer has shared her vision as her term comes to an end and our trea-
surer, Stewart Walker, has reported on our financial status elsewhere.
The big news for ASPRS is that starting in 2019, ASPRS headquarters manage-
ment will be assisted by an association management company, P&N, who will take
over various duties in the membership department, will help manage our member
database, will be our web master, finance managers and perform other important
administrative activities.

The weekly eNewsletter has shown a Delivery rate of over 90% and has become
an important communicator among our members and others.
•
Our weekly Headquarters Update – a zoom meeting for Board, region, division
and committee chairs and members, has proved to be a great intra-society com-
munication device. Thanks to Karen Schuckman for this Initiative.
