PRESIDENT.

There are currently about 890 JMRT members. A new liaison position was added this term. The position is with the LAMA PAS Publication committee. JMRT will be officially implementing its name change at the end of this conference. COG (Committee on Governance) has helped bring about the new logo design which will be used. New stationery and new brochures, etc. are coming along. Mary Marcum Evans will be showing the new stationery at this afternoon's Executive Board/New Board Orientation. JMRT hopes to be updating its goals and objectives and creating a fiscal planning report. Elinor Barrett and Jim Mouw have presented a proposal to have an Ad-Hoc Committee for Fiscal and Finance to address some of these needs. The Shirley Olofson Award was given a $1700.00 check from OCLC, with three additional checks of $1000.00 to follow if the funds are matched. The paperwork, etc. needed from ALA is underway and hopefully the plan will be approved. It is hoped the endowment will begin upon reaching the $10,000.00 point.

VICE PRESIDENT
