The INDICATOR, the newsletter shared by the New York and
North Jersey Sections, was still experiencing significant financial difficulties
last year. The North Jersey Section decided to follow the New York
Section lead in going to an electronic copy of the INDICATOR.
The INDICATOR can be found at http://TheIndicator.org
The committee organized a series of articles to the INDICATOR
to welcome undergraduate students as full members to the ACS.
The committee chair supplied the editor with monthly lists
of people who should receive a hardcopy of the indicator. For the
December issue of the INDICATOR, there were 502 people who have no e-mail
address listed with the ACS and 366 who do have e-mail addresses who have
requested hardcopy mailings anyway.
In 2010 it will be decided whether or not to continue any
hardcopy mailings.
A process for maintaining a hardcopy archive has been discussed.
