A special Thank you to all of our 2016 Conference Sponsors! And to our Conference Committee for volunteering their valuable time: Jered McGrath – Chair; Shaun Fidler, Chris Glantz, Gary Johnston, Jason Martin, Scott Reaves 5 Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon | www.plso.org owners, so I’m pretty much preaching to the choir. Just know that we work hard to maintain the proper balance. Our scal year ends on a standard calendar year, which is halfway through our membership year, ending in June. So while our 2015 scal year ocially ended in a slight decit, it’s important to know that each new year starts with proceeds from the Conference and will be infused again half-way through with membership renewals. ose renewals are a major component of our revenue stream and if you understand and appreciate the work PLSO does, you need to be timely in renewing your membership. Each of these legs of our table is a necessary part for creating stability. If one goes down or becomes o balance, the table can’t stand. I’ve said it before and I will say it again – PLSO is a member driven association. In order for it to run at full steam, we need the support and participation of our membership. Going back to that New Year’s resolution, if we just create and follow the plan, we will be a healthy and strong association. As I mentioned, your Finance Chair Gary Johnston provides a budget report at every conference (and at every BOD meeting). It’s important for me to acknowledge the amount of time and energy he puts into this Association. Not only does he audit our transactions every month and attend our quarterly board meetings, but he is also responsible for managing the conference auction. All this on top of community service for his church and the local food bank! Gary, thank you for everything you do. I would be lost without you. And thank you to our members – for supporting PLSO!
