OLD BUSINESS

1996 SEG Convention at Denver

• Barry talked to Steve Kloppel, President of the Denver Geophysical Society (DGS) with respect to co-hosting this Convention. It was requested we supply Denver with a list of names for possible Co-Chairman, Co-Technical Chairman and Co-promotional Chairman. A list of names will be submitted shortly. Discussion ensued as to who should cover the expenses of travel for these Co-Chairman and it was suggested that the SEG be approached as profits to our Society would be minimal.

Treasurer

Bill Bradley

• Bill noted that our Administrative Expenses are below budget. A cheque for $150,000.00 has been received from the 1994 Joint Convention. Bill moved that this recovery amount needs to cover 5 years operating expenses and therefore after setting aside a floating operating figure and covering our liability to the Continuing Education fund of approximately $19,000.00, the recovery amount will be invested with maturity each years. Moved by Bill. Seconded by Barry. Carried.
