ATCA ExCom minutes show decisions on the budget, dues increase and international meetings

ATCA’s Executive Committee met last Thursday to discuss conferences and the planned membership drive. The minutes of the previous meeting, now posted to the Members Only area of the website, show the 2017 budget based on dues set at $100 for the new membership year beginning July 1 (an increase from the 2016-17 dues of $75). The minutes report sending ExCom vice-chair Brad Hathaway to represent International Committee chair Jeffrey Eric Jenkins at the International Association of Theatre Critics executive committee May meeting in Norrköping, Sweden, the need for a new webmistress in the wake of Leslie Torvik’s retirement from the post, and the success of using electronic texts for the New Plays Committee’s consideration for the Steinberg and Osborn prizes.
