Directories and Newsletters: The _____________ Section also prints a

directory and newsletters. Directories are lists of various instrument sources in

the Section's locale, including member names, addresses and other data about

Section activities. Newsletters, in most cases, are published regularly and supply

members with Section news on advances in instrumentation. In both the

directory and newsletters, advertising is sold to cover the cost of printing.

Revenue from advertising may sometimes fall short of printing costs, or may

slightly exceed printing costs. Any excess is applied toward the cost of other

nonprofit functions of the Section. Both the directory and newsletters are

normally provided to the members free of charge.

Social Activities: Sections sponsor some social functions which are conducted

occasionally with monthly scientific meetings. Fees collected for such events

are used principally to cover the costs of the occasion. Any excess funds are

used to fund the Section's educational programs.

In general, all revenues and expenditures are used to fund the above activities and programs. Section revenues

generally are received from member dues, rebates from the central ISA, and from the activities outlined above.
