Minutes Executive Council Meeting

Pat Hayes introduced Norm Nielsen of SRI International, who will serve as AAAI's new Secretary/Treasurer. Nielsen, who has been a member of the finance committee for four years, replaces Bruce Buchanan, who served as Secretary/Treasurer for the last seven years. On behalf of all the members of AAAI, Pat Hayes thanked Bruce for his conscientious service. An informal dinner was held in February to acknowledge Bruce's contribution, since he could not be present for the Executive Council meeting. Finance Committee: Norm Nielsen presented the Finance Report, noting that the most drastic change from 1992 is in Exhibits revenue, which has plummeted as a result of the industry redirection to other areas.
