8. Action Plan Update

Increase member revenue to $330,000

PI = $330,000 by December 31.
92% - $304,591 by Dec. 31.
We fell short this year due to poor attendance at NIW 2004 which always lifts membership and the continued cutbacks with agency budgets in support of professional devleopment.

Complete new hires of ITAV Specialist and Sales and Event Specialist

PI = Staff in new roles by June 1, 2004.
100% - Jim Pasquotto was moved to the IT/AV Specialist position. Jolene Stagg, one of our student workers, was hired as Certification Clerk and the Sales/Event Specialist Deb Tewell began on June 1.

Certification income increases to $280,000

PI = $280,000 by December 31.
88% - $245,321 by December 31.
Sales volume has been much lower than expected and expense is correspondingly lower. We expected a net difference of $180,000 in 2004 and realized a surplus of $168,000.

Speaking/consultancy fees of $50,000

PI = $50,000 by December 31.
117% - $58,481 billed by Dec. 31.
We performed better than expected due to Lisa's additional work with NPS at year-end. This produced a surplus of $8,481.

$2,500 in profits from Peru ecotour

PI = $2,500 income by February 28.
100% - $2,500 to date. The ecotour went well and ten went on it. Funds were received in 2003 so do not show on 2004 books.

Publish two new titles as InterPress

PI = two new books in print by October 31.
100% - Interpretacion Personal is now available in Spanish and the new Nature Center book was in print by November.

Increase ad sales to $124,000 annually

PI = $124,000 income by Dec. 31.
83% - $102,756 to date - Deb Tewell came on board in May of this year and performed well with this in exceeding our best previous year's effort by $8,000. However, the objective was unattainable in seven months.

Produce two copies of the Journal of Interp. Research

PI = two J.I. issues mailed by Dec. 31.
50% - We have now completed both journal issues for 2003 and have mailed the first issue for 2004. We await final copy for the second issue for 2004.

98% -We have taken in $200,000 in DDA grant funds this year and have a commitment for $45,000 from Gates Family Foundation. USEPA is finalizing paperwork that will amount to about $150,000 in additional grant funds to NAI in late 2004 or early 2005.

Raise $80,000 for LTF

PI = $80,000 for LTF by Dec. 31
89% -We have landed $70,974 in LTF Funds to date. About $130,000 in other gifts are awaiting donor approval of contracts. This objective was increased from $70,000 to $80,000 in the spring, but Julie was not hired until November so we did fairly well given the time constraints.
