Finance Committee Report
Here is the final word (as I see it) in regard to sustaining members and graduate student travel.

1) JoAnn left me a message last week regarding the acknowledgement of donors and asking if we should list Sustaining Members separately from coffee break donors. I believe that the two types of donations should be listed and acknowledged separately for this meeting (as was done in Quebec), but we should look for better ways to coordinate soliciting funds in the future.

2) Unless John Caddel has received anything more since the last we had contact, the Sustaining Members for the 40th NAAIC are:

o Becker Underwood
o Cal/West Seeds
o Celpril
o Dairyland Seed Co., Inc.
o FFR Cooperative
o Forage Genetics International
o Monsanto Company o Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc
o WL Research, Inc. (have not received check yet, but I've been in contact with Mike Peterson).

3) Graduate students receiving awards are:

o Xuehui Li - Iowa State
o Julia Olmstead - Iowa State
o Muhammet Sakiroglu - Iowa State
o Michael Wunsch - Cornell University

I welcome your questions and input.

Dave Miller
