Executive Committee Meeting 
69 
invited research paper is by Dr. Kenneth Shull, and it appeared in the 
January, 2013 issue. 
K) Web Editor (Ashley Morris) - Ashley stated that her major report is about 
our new mobile application. Chris Fleming is responsible for putting 
these together (droid app and apple app). Ashley also mentioned that 
she had revamped our web site, which has had over 3000 visits since 
January. This visitation rate is fairly consistent with last year. 
Interestingly, the majority of activity is NC, GA, and TN. Usually, most 
visits come from the state where the annual meeting is happening. That 
is not the case this year. Ashley reported to the EC that she may ask 
Chris to be permanent assistant with “app” development, and she 
expressed thanks to Chris for his work. Meetings Coordinator Scott 
Jewell obtained the QR form for downloading this year’s program, etc. 
Finally, Ashley reported that we have 497 likes on Facebook. 
L) Book Review Co-Editors (Christopher G. Brown, Jennifer R. Mandel) - 
Christopher and Jennifer’s written report stated that they had received no 
books to review this year and would like to make it easier for 
authors/publishers to contact them for potential reviews and for them to 
contact potential reviewers. Also, they suggested that ASB might benefit 
from a link on the website or other forum where we could publish 
reviews. They also suggested that perhaps we should include new 
textbooks in this process, since teaching is an important focus of ASB. 
They stated that they would like to see reviews of texts by professors 
that have used them. 
M) News Editor (Ricky Fiorillo) - No report. President Don Roush posed the 
question of whether we need this position, especially with Facebook and 
other electronic means of communication. Discussion followed. 
N) Membership Officer (Sarah Noble) - Sarah reported that C. Richie Bell, 
Wallace D. Dawson, George C. Kent, Frank Romano, and Stephen L. 
Timme had passed since our last Annual Meeting. Sarah also mentioned 
that she had received two requests for emeritus status: William F. Font 
and Patricia Parr. 
Motion 3. Secretary Conley McMullen made a motion to put William F. 
Font and Patricia Parr forward for emeritus status. The motion was 
seconded by Roland Roberts. There was no discussion. The motion 
carried. These individuals will be voted on at the Friday business 
meeting. 
O) Meetings Coordinator (Scott Jewell) - Scott reported that 614 individuals 
had preregistered for this year’s meeting, but that we are hoping for 800. 
Further, we are presently at breakeven regarding the budget for this 
year’s meeting. Scott also mentioned that the accommodations this year 
were very nice, and that he had acquired the convention space at no 
charge. Shuttles were also acquired for free, except for drivers’ pay. 
Scott recognized Ashley Morris and Chris Fleming for this year’s
