ASA Board of Directors Announcement

On behalf of the ASA Board of Directors, I would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Joel Barkan for his outstanding service and commitment to the Association as Treasurer from fall 2006 through spring 2007. Joel’s many contributions to discussions about the Association’s budget and investments and to the Ad hoc Strategic Planning Committee have greatly advanced the Association’s progress toward an ever more secure fi nancial future.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am also pleased to welcome Scott Taylor (Georgetown University) as the new ASA Treasurer. Scott has been appointed to complete the fi ve-year term for Joel Barkan, who resigned from the Board.

Carol L. Martin, PhD Executive Director

16 ASA NEWS ~ July 2007 50 Year Anniversaries Fundraising Campaign

Dear African Studies Association Community,

For many of us the annual meeting of the ASA is a cherished event that we anticipate each year, looking forward to seeing old friends, contacting colleagues, and learning about new publications and other resources. For those of us who teach in smaller colleges or who are independent scholars, the ASA provides an important professional home where we can connect with others who share our interests and concerns.

But the annual meeting and other services provided by the ASA will only be possible if the ASA is able to move into a more secure fi nancial future. One important way to ensure that stability is to increase the endowment. In honor of the 50th anniversaries of the founding of the organization and of our fi rst annual meeting, we are asking each member to make a special contribution. Our minimal request is for $50 in honor of the 50th anniversaries, though if you are able to respond with a larger contribution that will be most welcome.

By the end of April 2007, just over 300 members had made endowment contributions, and we are very grateful for your generosity. We now have over 1500 members. If all 1500 members contribute $50, we would add $75,000 to our endowment. Moreover, a 100% participation rate would be truly impressive! If some of you could contribute more, the endowment would increase even faster.

We know that many of you have just renewed your membership and registered for the 2007 annual meeting. But we would like to put this $50 amount into context. Many professional journals are now well over $100 for an annual subscription and the purchase of a single book in your fi eld can easily be more than $50. Regular coffee drinks to accompany all that reading can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars a year. We are certain that the survival and healthy growth of the African Studies Association is worth as much to you as these and other similar expenses. Any contribution you can make will go directly to the endowment to secure the future of the ASA.

Please respond generously to the $50 for the 50th anniversaries campaign. You can make a contribution in any of the following ways:

Online: www.africanstudies.org and click on ASA ONLINE to log in to your ASA Account, and register to make a contribution.

By fax: 732-932-3394

By phone: 732-932-8173 x10

By email: [email protected]

By mail: African Studies Association Rutgers U, Douglass Campus 132 George Street New Brunswick, NJ 08901-1400 USA

Please help to achieve our goal of $500,000 by 2008. The ASA is a 501(c)(3) organization; contributions are tax deductible. A receipt for your contribution will be sent via email and you may print a duplicate from your ASA account online. Please be sure to include a Matching Gift Form, if applicable. Some companies also match a spouse’s contribution.

Thank you, on behalf of the African Studies Association Offi cers and Board of Directors!
