The OLA Executive of the time agreed that there was not only an opportunity to be gained in doing this but that the fit to the OLA's overall mission was particularly good. 2000 projections indicate that a similar surplus will occur this year.
Efforts continue to focus on building sustainable sources of funding for the future.
Funding diversification beyond the annual conference and the CAP grant will ensure that OLA can continue to operate independently. Thanks again to the efforts of June Wilson, who acted as Treasurer from 1995 through 1998, and to the on-going efforts and commitment of OLA Executive Director Larry Moore and his excellent staff. Thanks also for the honour of being OLA Treasurer for 1999 and 2000. It's been a great experience.
