A
sincere thanks is extended to all who have given their time and talent in
translating documents for us in IIBA, not only the Newsletter but also many
papers for the Faculty, Board and members.
All
of us have been impacted by the horror of terrorism and its disregard of human
life and dignity, tearing at the very fabric of civilization. The entire world was exposed through the
television coverage of the New York World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings of
how tenuous is the thread between life and death. If anything, these recent current events can serve to challenge
us to face the very hard and complex aspects of our human condition, including
the dark side, deepen our commitment to be generous with our love and
rededicate to affirm and be grounded in the values of our shared humanity,
Note
of appreciation: Thank you to all who
contacted us to express your care and support.
The
office continues to be managed very capably by Trustee Anita Madden and her
daughter Pam Bell, who is a trained accountant. These two have volunteered their time and effort for the sake of
our ongoing office needs that have been necessitated since the departure of our
executive director. We all owe them a debt of gratitude. Their efforts are helping to clarify exactly
what we need in our office functions and infrastructure so that we can employ
staff to meet those needs directly. The
Trustees recently approved Pam to consult for three months to bring together
the various elements needed for an efficient office infrastructure.
OUR OFFICE WILL BE MOVING THIS DECEMBER 15, 2001, AND HOPEFULLY FOR THE LAST TIME.

Journal
Editor John Conger has announced that the Journal is ready to be printed. It will be printed and mailed as soon as we
receive sufficient dues to cover expenses.
We
have had to take a hard look at our approach to money and funding since our
employment of an executive director proved so costly to us. We are not bankrupt, though our reserves are
depleted, so we must watch our expenses carefully. We also had to look at money matters prompted by the Latin
American Federation’s letter of crisis to the Board of Trustees. In this letter they expressed the
impossibility of students and members in their culture to meet the cost of dues
because of the dramatic loss of their currency value against the dollar. In emergency (email) session the Trustees
have voted to adopt the South American declaration that they need to pay 1/3
less for their dues. The Trustees also agreed to ask the finance committee to
review this decision to see if it needs to be continued in the future and what
other European country’s economies are also affected, taking into consideration
the currency valuation. The Trustees hope
that this will serve to express our commitment to be grounded in reality with
our membership, including the value of money. Of course, these dues reduction
decisions will have some, as yet undetermined, affect on program planning.
We
will expand the use of our web site and email for increased communication with
one another: email IIBANET@aol.com
