We are pleased to report a Chairman successful 12 months. Attendance and revenue are ahead of the prior year period, the Dan M. Guy III, animal collection continues in robust condition and we have had strong results in President education and public programs and conservation field research. Robert W. Davidson, In June 2011 the Board of Directors adopted a new Strategic Plan for the Aquarium CEO after input from hundreds of stakeholders, including staff, volunteers, donors, neighbors and civic, environmental and educational leaders. The plan lays out bold objectives as called for by our Mission: Inspiring conservation of our marine environment. You will find the objectives on page 5 of this report. In mid-August Seattle voters endorsed moving forward with construction of a deep bore tunnel to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct. This action, which we strongly support, reflects a “hundred year” outlook, as an environmental leader observed on election night. The Aquarium, Waterfront and region now have a green light to focus fully on plans for the new Viaduct-free Waterfront. On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers we offer continuing appreciation to the community for its generous support of the Seattle Aquarium during this historic and exciting time. 3 OFF TO A RUNNING START Early success and critical need as the Seattle Aquarium Society assumes management and operation of the Seattle Aquarium On July 1, 2010 the Aquarium became a nonprofit organization under a long- term agreement with the City of Seattle.
