Eff orts to attract more junior colleagues and students to the OAH through sponsored memberships are all part of our goal to create the “big tent” for practitioners of American history. Th e joint meeting in Milwau- kee with the National Council on Public History, the recent establishment of an OAH service committee on Disability History and Historians, and current consideration of a new publication for members and potential new members are consistent with my commitment as president to broaden the reach of the organization.

Th e related questions of expanding members and broadening the appeal of the OAH has prompted consideration of a new publication that will reach out to, and benefi t, a diverse community of OAH members. An ad hoc committee is busy draft ing a proposal for consideration by the OAH Executive Board to create a new printed and online publication that will appeal to and benefi t current members and, it is hoped, attract new members.

Professional organizations remain relevant to existing members and attract new members only if they can adapt and change in ways that serve multiple constituencies. Th e OAH is no exception. Th is is why I am especially excited to serve as president of the OAH at a time when we are considering development of new programs, membership opportunities, and publications.

In discipline forward. 2011–2012, we increased our annual giving eff orts and established a planned giving program. Just prior to the end of the year, we received a $50,000 bequest from Marion and Horace Merrill, which will be used to fund graduate student travel to the annual meeting. Also, this past year, a task force surveyed members about the OAH Annual Meeting. Th e OAH is working hard to make improvements to the meeting and has negotiated favorable contracts with hotels to keep costs for members low. Some of the annual meeting improvements were instituted during the highly successful 2012 joint OAH/NCPH meeting in Milwaukee at which over 2,200 individuals attended.

Our partnership with Oxford University Press has proven to be very successful. Th e revenue exceeded Oxford’s and our expectations. We are very pleased with this outcome and look forward to more suc- cesses and benefi ts from this partnership.

During the past year, the OAH has enhanced and bolstered the National Park Service (NPS) program and the Distinguished Lectureship Series. Th e latter also won an award for best non-dues revenue program in the state of Indiana. A major multiyear study, Imperiled Promise: Th e State of History in the National Parks was completed this past year. Th is landmark study makes recommendations on how American history can be enhanced and bolstered within NPS. Th e Journal of American History will follow this study with an interchange that will appear in the September 2013 issue.

Th e OAH has launched a signifi cant and successful Web site devoted to the Civil War sesquicentennial. In 2011 we looked at the origins of the war, during 2012 our focus has been on mobilizing for war, and in 2013 we will be provide information on turning points.

Fortunately, the majority of the data clean-up process is almost fi nished. With the restructuring behind us, we are happy to report that the OAH is growing again.

Th e OAH added 1,164 new members during the past year, and marketing plans are well underway for several target audiences as we move into fi scal 2013. We have been successful in reinstating 200 former members in recent months and look forward to bringing others back to a current status.

Fiscal 2012 ushered in many changes including a restructuring of positions, policies, procedures, and physical space. With the assistance of Raybourn Group Inter- national, OAH has developed a renewal schedule to accommodate our new annual membership year, and with the marketing plan in place 2013 promises to be productive.

We remain cautiously optimistic about OAH members who joined as part of a secondary school TAH Grant program, and we are finding there are other history educators who appreciate the OAH Maga- zine of History and also want to join as a History
