ACTIVITIES
The months of January, February and March were primarily spent processing payments and troubleshooting inquiries from members as they struggle to adjust to the new rolling membership cycle. January-April memberships processed: 281 (83 are new members.) With the opening of conference registration we have found that the registration system and the membership directory records don’t work together smoothly. Members wishing to renew while registering for the conference are forced to enter as new members. This has resulted in quite a few duplicate member records which the committee then must consolidate. The registrar, treasurer and D&D continue to work closely together to track payments in what frequently feels like separate accounting systems. We hope to simplify the working procedures before the 2010 conference cycle begins and this may require additional programming adjustments in the database payment system.
