Michael Crowley, Chief of the Music Library at City College of New York, has been elected as our new Secretary-Treasurer, receiving 37 out of 37 votes. Congratulations to Michael and thanks to him for agreeing to serve in this position.
On the ballot issue to raise annual dues from $10 to $15, the measure passed with 29 Yes votes (80%) and 7 No votes (19%), with one abstention. The increase will take affect with the next fiscal year in July 2017.
