Background: The Technical Activities Committee asked for guidance and a policy on the Concrete Knowledge Center, prior to its summer 2008 meeting.

June 23-24, 2008 – The Executive Committee approved adoption of the following policy to manage and expand the Concrete Knowledge Center.

“The Concrete Knowledge Center (CKC) is an area within the ACI website that provides technical information.

ACI’s Executive Vice President is responsible for managing the CKC –including determining appropriate CKC subject matter, website design, and member benefits.

Information previously vetted through an established ACI process, or vetted by one of ACI’s International Partners, is considered suitable to post without additional review. For other information, a Board-level committee determines a suitable review and approval process. The CKC should not duplicate material found elsewhere on the ACI website; however, links to such information can be used.”

3.1.4 Pilot Program to Promote ACI Certification

June 23-24, 2008 – The Executive Committee approved the Certification Programs Committee recommendation that a pilot program to promote incorporation of ACI certification into university civil engineering curriculums be implemented.

3.1.5 Restructure International Committee Subcommittees

Background: The Executive Committee at its 2008 midwinter meeting discussed the present structure of the International Committee’s subcommittees and agreed there appears to be some overlap between the IC subcommittees and the ACI Board committees. A task group was formed to review the current IC subcommittee structure and develop recommendations for an appropriate structure for IC.

Board of Direction Meeting Agenda Page 4 of 14 St. Louis, Missouri November 6, 2008

June 23-24, 2008 – The Executive Committee endorsed the recommendations suggested by the Task Group to Review International Committee’s Subcommittee Structure to move the IC subcommittee on certification to a subcommittee of the Certification Programs Committee; the IC subcommittee on membership be moved to a subcommittee of the Membership Committee, with the chairs of these two subcommittees appointed as members of the International Committee. The IC subcommittee on Conferences and Conventions be restructured and renamed the Conventions and Education subcommittee reporting to IC with the mission expanded to include educational programs appropriate for the international community. The international conferences are to move to the full International Committee. The remaining two subcommittees: 1) Publications and Website and 2) Partnerships be merged and renamed the International Partners and Publications subcommittee, reporting to the IC.

Staff was directed to seek confirmation and support from the International Committee, Membership Committee, and the Certification Programs Committee on the plans to restructure the IC’s subcommittees and update the Board at its present meeting.

12.0 REPORTS of BOARD ADVISORY COMMITTEES and TASK GROUPS

12.1 Advisory Committee-Sustainable Development (AC-SD) ..... Richard D. Stehly, Chair

12.2 Advisory Committee for Young Members (AC-YM) Andrea Schokker, Chair

12.2.1 Clarification on Membership Categories and Service on Committees

Background: According to ACI’s Bylaws, Article II—Members, Section 5, “All members in any classification shall have all rights and privileges of membership…”

The Executive Committee at its 10-27-83 meeting requested TAC and EAC to consider expanding and managing a larger committee membership. In response, TAC formed a task group to develop recommendations. The Board at its 11-1-84 meeting accepted TAC’s recommendation to expand ACI committee membership and adopted a policy effective 7-1-85 giving staff the authority to appoint applicants as Associate Members (non-voting status) of non-code writing technical committees without the concurrence of the committee chairman. Applicants must be ACI members and limited to three Associate Memberships on technical committees. A similar authorization was approved for Associate Membership to the EAC committee structure.

In TAC’s November 1986 minutes, it was reported TAC had appointed a task group on ACI Nonmembers and Associate Committee members to recommend any needed modifications of procedures—and TAC accepted the recommendation that ‘Student and Junior Members should be restricted to Associate Membership on one committee only.’ TAC did not request Board action.

In 1985, Certification was under EAC; the Board at its March 1991 meeting approved the formation of the Certification Committee and several 600 series committees under its jurisdiction.

Board of Direction Meeting Agenda Page 10 of 14 St. Louis, Missouri November 6, 2008

The Board at its March 1994 meeting delegated committees the authority to administer the committees under their jurisdiction.

In 2006, in conjunction with the launch of the free Student E-Membership program, the Board approved that student electronic members are eligible to be an Associate member of one technical or education committee.

Currently, it is ACI’s practice that Individual members, Organizational member representatives, and Sustaining member representatives can serve as Associate members on three technical committees, three education committees, plus three certification committees. Student and Young Professional members can serve as Associate Members on one committee.

It is expected that Staff will provide a recommendation to clarify the number of committees on which a member can serve as Associate member.

12.2.2 Increase Number of Committees Students can Serve as Associate Members

Background: At the Los Angeles convention, the AC-YM discussed the need to increase the maximum number of committees on which students can serve as Associate Members. The current limit is one, but the Committee would like to increase the limit to two for students as a way to engage them and help ensure a larger number of active committee members into the future. AC-YM members were especially concerned with the number of committee members currently serving who are at or approaching retirement age. The AC-YM felt it was important to obtain feedback on this increase from TAC, EAC, CPC, and the Membership Committee.

At their summer meeting, TAC supported increasing the maximum number of committees on which students can serve as Associate Members from one to two. It is anticipated that EAC, CPC, and the Membership Committees will discuss this item at their fall 2008 meetings.

Dependent on action taken on Agenda Item 12.2.1, no further action may be required.

12.3 Task Group on Improving Educational Programs ...... Thomas Malerk, Chair

Background: The Board at its 4-26-07 meeting created a Task Group charged with developing actions to take so that educational programs make contributions to the reserves.

It is expected that the Task Group will provide a progress report.

Board of Direction Meeting Agenda Page 11 of 14 St. Louis, Missouri November 6, 2008

12.4 Ad Hoc Committee–Policy Honoring ACI’s Distinguished Deceased Members David Darwin, Chair [Exhibit E]

Background: The Board at its April 2008 meeting agreed to form an Ad hoc Committee to draft an appropriate policy on the development of resolutions for honoring ACI’s deceased distinguished members.

The ad Hoc Committee by teleconference 7-31-08 developed guidelines for Board consideration on an equitable and consistent manner in which ACI can honor its distinguished, deceased members. The proposed guidelines are attached to this agenda as Exhibit E.

13.0 ACI FOUNDATION ...... Claude Bédard, Chair

13.1 ACI Foundation Activities

14.0 FY09 BUDGET ...... Richard Stehly, FAC Chair

14.1 Proposed FY09 Budget [Exhibit F]

A FY09 Budget proposed by FAC is attached to this Agenda as Exhibit F. It does not include financial impacts of additional programs, projects, and activities approved during the present meeting.

14.2 Additional Authorizations

Proposed programs, projects, and activities approved during the present meeting may be authorized for implementation during FY09, effectively adding them to the FY09 Budget.

14.3 Approval of FY09 Budget

The FY09 Budget, including the FAC proposed Budget plus additional items authorized for implementation in FY09, will be approved.

NOTE: At this point, the Board will go into CLOSED SESSION to discuss agenda Items 15.0, 16.0, and 17.0, with attendance limited to Officers, Directors, and other individuals specifically invited by the Chair to participate.

Board of Direction Meeting Agenda Page 12 of 14 St. Louis, Missouri November 6, 2008

Memorandum to: ACI Board of Direction

From: ACI Membership Committee

Subject: Pilot Program for ACI Electronic Membership

In 2004, the Membership Committee recommended and the Board approved the pilot program to provide electronic membership benefits in developing countries at a lower cost. In order to offer ACI membership at a substantially reduced rate ($50 annually), the membership application, renewals, and all benefits would be in electronic format. The two-year pilot program was offered in Brazil, Chile, China, India, and Peru. These countries were selected, in part, because they had strong Chapters or were International Partners who would support the program, increasing the likelihood of success. It was expected that during the two-year pilot period, 131 traditional members would convert to E-membership (50% of the members residing in countries participating in program), and that 300 additional individuals would purchase E-memberships at $50 (431 projected E-members).

At the end of the two-year program there were 116 E-members and the success or failure of the program, though far short of projections, was deemed to be inconclusive. The Membership Committee recommended and the Board approved a two-year extension—and the program was expanded to 15 countries. Using trends observed during the first two years, it was anticipated that at the end of the pilot program (2008), 110 traditional members would have converted to E- membership and 184 new E-members would have been recruited (294 projected E-members). Based on information from the World Bank Income Group Ratings (See Attachment A), only two of the 15 countries were rated in the low income category; seven were rated in the low/medium category; and six were rated in the upper medium category. Thus, the program was expanded beyond its initial objective to provide lower cost membership benefits in developing countries.

As of 9/1/08, E-membership includes only 36 members previously converted from the traditional membership and 118 individuals who are new members to ACI through this program.(156 total E-members).j It should be noted that 13 of these individuals now reside in countries not included in the pilot program.

The program has not met expectations, and the following conclusions have been reached:

1) ACI membership does not appear to be as price sensitive as previously believed, based on the lower than projected number of members who have converted from the traditional to E-member status.. 2) Many members seem to prefer traditional benefits rather than electronic benefits—even though the electronic benefits offer additional advantages such as expanded search capabilities. Exhibit D, Board of Direction Meeting Agenda, November 6, 2008 Memo: ACI Board of Direction D-2 September 30, 2008

3) ACI offered approximately a 75% discount from traditional dues, which was further reduced due to the weaker U.S. dollar. This has not been enough of an incentive to achieve the numbers projected for the program. 4) Difficulty in gaining access to credit cards or U.S. dollars to pay for ACI dues is a major obstacle in most if not all of the international countries. If ACI were to accept local currency and then convert to U.S. dollars, the funds received would be greatly reduced by bank fees. And some currencies are not accepted outside the originating country. 5) Staff time to promote and maintain program exceeded estimates.

The membership in India increased by 39 members—this is surprisingly low considering the India Chapter has approximately 2,339 members and 2,305 are Affiliate Members, i.e., a Chapter member but not an ACI member. Chapter Officers had predicted that, if dues were reduced to the $50 level, several hundred individuals would join ACI. Brazil had the second largest E- membership with 26 members; however, Brazil is rated by the World Bank as in the upper middle income category and, therefore, does not qualify as a developing country.

It was anticipated that if successful, this program would be offered to developing countries worldwide. However, using the current criteria for a world-wide program, approximately 57% of the countries would be eligible for lower dues. Not only could this result in a negative reaction from members in the U.S., Canada, and other developed countries, but their demand for a similar low cost E-membership could have a major financial impact on ACI.

The pilot program was expanded from five to 15 countries and from two to four years. Additional staff support to promote and maintain the program has been provided, in part, because renewals for some countries had to be hand processed. It is the belief of the Membership Committee that financial and Staff resources could be better utilized.

Recommendation: The Membership Committee recommends to the Board of Direction that the E-membership pilot program to establish affordable membership benefits for developing countries be terminated. The Committee further recommends that any individual currently enrolled in the E-membership pilot program be “grandfathered” and be allowed to maintain their E-membership at the lower rate, provided their membership does not lapse. Dues for this membership category would be increased at the same percentage as the traditional Individual Membership.

The Membership Committee still believes that an effort should be made to increase international membership and is working on evaluating other programs that could be more effective. The Committee has discussed a program to reach professors in low to middle income countries. At the Chapter Roundtable in Cartagena, it was suggested a program be considered that would include reduced dues for international professors who join the Faculty Network and distribute ACI materials or serve as advisors to international student chapters. It is anticipated that the Membership Committee will continue to explore ways to increase international membership and will develop recommendations for Board consideration.

For operational and analytical purposes, e divided among income groups according to 2007 gross national income (GNI) per capita, calculated using the World Bank Atlas method. The groups are: low inco lower middle income, $936–3,705; upper middle income, $3,706–11,455; and high income, $11,456 or more. Other analytical groups based on geographic region

Geographic classifications and data reported for geographic regions are for low-income and middle-income economies only. Low-income and middle-income econ sometimes referred to as developing economies. The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing sim or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development. Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status.

Lending category: IDA countries are those that had a per capita income in 2007 of less than $1,095 and lack the financial ability to borrow from IBRD. IDA loans a concessional—interest-free loans and grants for programs aimed at boosting economic growth and improving living conditions. IBRD loans are noncessional. Ble eligible for IDA loans because of their low per capita incomes but are also eligible for IBRD loans because they are financially creditworthy.

The 2008 Honorary Membership Committee recommends that Honorary Membership be bestowed on:

C. Terry Dooley

C. Terry Dooley is recommended for Honorary Membership in the American Concrete Institute

“for his outstanding contributions to ACI and the concrete construction industry and for his advocacy, mentorship, education and development of young people for the design and construction industry”

C. Terry Dooley currently serves on the Board of Direction as Secretary to the ACE Mentor Program for the Los Angeles Metropolitan area. This program provides opportunities for motivated high school students to discover the potential of careers in architecture, engineering, and construction.

In 2002, he retired as Senior Vice President from Morley Builders, Santa Monica, CA, having been there for 21 years. While at Morley Builders, he had been involved in numerous seismic retrofit projects, including the modernization of the Rockwell Corporation’s headquarters building in Seal Beach, CA. The Rockwell project included the first base isolation retrofit of a fully-occupied major building in the U.S.

Prior to joining Morley, he was at Bethlehem Steel Corporation for 26 years as Contracting Manager for the firm’s Los Angeles area sales district. His work included reinforcing steel fabrication and placement of the earliest reinforced concrete frames to exceed the long-established 13 story height limit in Southern California.

He became a member of ACI in 1981 and a Fellow of the Institute in 1998. He is a former member of ACI’s Board of Direction and has served on several ACI committees including Awards for Papers; Construction Liaison; Financial Advisory; Publications; Responsibility in Concrete Construction; TAC Repair & Rehabilitation; and ACI Committee 439, Steel Reinforcement.

Exhibit O, Board of Direction Meeting Agenda, November 6, 2008 Exhibit P-1 BOARD PROPOSAL

To: Board of Direction From: John Glumb, Managing Director, Systems, Services & Chapters Subject: Upgrading ACI’s Association Management System. Date: September 8, 2008

Background—ACI’s current Association Management System (AMS) was installed in 2003. This system brought ACI onto a standard database platform and has allowed for large scale automation of many activities and improvements in staff productivity and service to members. Improvements gained through the system have included: 9 Highly automated processing of certification exams which allowed for rapid growth of certification programs without significant staff increases. 9 Automated processing of orders via the ACI website for products, memberships, and event registrations. 9 Improved report generation capabilities which allow for more sophisticated marketing and financial analysis. 9 Centralized storage of customer and member information which eliminates duplicates and increases accuracy.

This system is the center of all information activity at ACI. The AMS system is used to process and store all customer, membership, certification, committee, convention and education information. Nearly every activity undertaken by ACI staff utilizes the AMS system in some way.

ACI is currently running version 5.3 of the TIMSS system from TMA Resources, TMA is one of the three leading AMS vendors in the association market, and was determined to be the vendor best suited for ACI. The vendor is currently on version 7 of their system, now called Personify. The vendor has announced a sunset date on support for version 5.3 of the TIMSS system in July of 2010.

The Payment Card Industry has announced new data security standards (PCI DSS) that will take effect in 2010. All merchants (including ACI) who process a significant number of credit card transactions must comply with these standards.

Because of the vendors decision to end support of ACI’s version in 2010 and because the current system will not be in compliance with the Payment Card Industry standards it will be necessary to upgrade the system. Most ACI customer transactions (memberships, publication sales, event registrations) are paid via credit card. Without this upgrade ACI could not easily process credit card transactions.

The new system features a completely redesigned database structure, therefore, a complex migration of our existing data and rewriting of customized features will be necessary. Because of our existing maintenance agreements ACI will not have to purchase software licenses to use the new system but will be responsible for data conversion fees and programming charges to retrofit our existing customizations into the new version. Exhibit P, Board of Direction Meeting Agenda, November 6, 2008 P-2

The upgraded system will contain many new features and will allow ACI to continue to automate additional processes, improve staff productivity, and improve services to members. Some of the new system enhancements include:

9 Increased speed in processing certification exams. 9 Ability to create custom discounts and coupon codes, allowing for a wider range of incentives and marketing programs. 9 Ability to tailor the screens and workflow so that users only see the information directly related to their tasks. This will simplify training for new employees and streamline data entry operations.

Past experience indicates that a great deal of staff time will be required to accomplish the migration to the new system. Major areas affected will be Member Service, Accounting and Information Systems. Normal new projects will have to be deferred until the new system is in place. Temp staff and overtime will be added to free up staff time to work on the conversion.

Staff proposes that ACI upgrade our existing TMA TIMSS 5.3 system to TMA Personify. Please see the accompanying FIS in your FAC agenda for details.
