The December 2023 ending balance for the 2023 budget was −$32,708.34. The negative balance reflects reduced revenue from membership and fewer manuscripts published that were subject to page charges during 2023. Revenues from the annual symposia sponsorship ($14,000), royalties from Elsevier ($22,437.77), and unrealized investment gains ($11,321.24) exceeded those budgeted. The symposium sponsorship supported the 2023 symposium as well as the Liver Abscess Special Issue published in July by Applied Animal Science. A donation to ARPAS in the amount of $10,000 was received, which also improved total revenue. Thank you to the donor for the gift in support of ARPAS. Total expenses for 2023 were less than budgeted ($375,385.41 versus $395,215.00). Reduced expenses were related to the journal and administration and governance. A summary of the final 2023 budget is presented below.

2024 Budget
The current budget has a balance of $31,645.51 as of June 30, 2024. Membership renewals (dues for regular, student, emeritus, and ACAS) total $81,647.50, only 70.8% of the $113,500 budgeted. If you or someone you know has not renewed their membership for 2024, please do so as soon as possible. Corporate and symposium sponsorship totals $35,000, so be sure to thank those sponsors for their support of ARPAS and the ARPAS symposium. Thanks to the positive stock market, we have had a gain on invested assets of $7,981.70 during the first six months of 2024. Expenses through the end of June total $161,206.74, which is 44% of that budgeted.
