OCTOBER 2003 • No 55 SEG NEWSLETTER 3 FROM THE EXECUTIVE EDITOR Members will notice on the front cover of this issue that it is again time to renew dues payments for next year and I urge you all to do this prior to January 1, 2004. The good news is that regular member dues have been set at $85 for the tenth consecutive year. This is particularly good value when one considers that inflation-adjusted dues should be set at $105 for next year. How is this possible when the average society based in the United States finds it necessary to increase dues every fourth year? Whereas income from the investment portfolio and support from the SEG Foundation have helped to offset the operating costs of expanding programs, ultimately the Society’s fiscal health depends on our ability to generate adequate non-dues revenues (i.e., money from publications, meetings, field trips, and short courses/workshops). Further, to avoid incurring needless costs related to shipping and handling, we have reluctantly instituted a late fee for dues renewals received after March 1. Please go online for details at . The Society is committed to limiting the extent of any future increase in the membership dues, and timely payment of your dues will help significantly in containing our costs. Several changes in membership of the Executive Committee and Investment Committee occurred during August and September. Harold Noyes has accepted the position of SEG Treasurer, while George Ireland, former Treasurer, succeeds Gary Huber as Chair of the Investment Committee. We’re very pleased to have retained the services of both George and Gary on the Investment Committee, and all of us look forward to working with Harry as the new Treasurer. In the build-up to our business meetings in Seattle this November, the ad hoc strategic planning committees will be preparing recommendations on a variety of Society activities, several of which will have a direct bearing on the continuing financial security of the Society. Turning once again to the importance of non-dues revenues, the SEG is trying to focus on major events and in this regard we’re placing significant emphasis on our stand-alone meeting “Predictive Mineral Discovery Under Cover” in Perth, Australia, next year (see details on p. 21 of the July issue of the SEG Newsletter). David Groves, who served as the first Australian President of SEG (2001–2002), BRIAN G. HOAL SEG Executive Director and Editor and his organizing committee have put together a first-rate program. The conference will maintain its Australian flavor under the presidency of yet another Australian, Ross Large. This stand-alone meeting will provide members with a rare opportunity to rejuvenate their science, gain new exploration ideas, and network with many of the world’s foremost exploration geologists and economic geology researchers. Participating in SEG 2004 will enhance your professional career and boost the value of your Society membership no matter where you work in the world.1 Contact SEG Our Headquarters address is Society of Economic Geologists, Inc.
