\par Richards presented the report sent to him by Treasurer Crespi on 10/5/06.  As of that date, the NEC 63 bank account held $9,684.86, before subtractin
g expenses due to the current meeting.  Given the overwhelmingly favorable assessment of the participation of Cornell graduate students, the grad-student subsidy program will be extended to future meetings, and enhanced to include a prize for the best gra
duate student paper presented.

\par Richards presented a report on plans for the Spring 2007 meeting to be held June 22, 2007 in Parma, Italy, prior to the annual IAMA meetings.  The NEC 63 session will consist of a single day of 2 - 3 sessions of longer research-oriented papers.  A Call fo
r Papers will be sent to the AAEA and EAAE in October. The theme will be very general \endash 
 any paper on commodity promotion or marketing that would be of interest to NEC 63 members.  Registration fees are to be determined, but will be significantly less than t
he IAMA fees.  Hotel and meeting room arrangements will be made through the IAMA office.

\par A suggestion was made that the Fall 2007 meeting be held in Vancouver, B.C. on Sept. 27 - 28, 200
7.  The organizing committee consists of Kaiser, Richards and possibly Paul Hargreaves, if interested.  Papers and presentations on general commodity promotion themes will be welcomed, but themes of optimal media allocation, brand vs generic promotion and
 threshold effects will be stressed.  Richards will search for any conflicts that may arise with other potential attendees\rquote  schedules.

\par Nominations for the new executive committee will be made
 prior to the Spring 2007 meeting. Given that there will likely only be a few NEC 63 members at the Spring meeting, a nominating committee consisting of the existing executive committee will be struck and nominations taken by email.  The new executive com
mittee will be in place for the Fall 2007 meeting.
