relationships with others or with them-
selves. They believe that what hurts
one, hurts all, whether we re talking
about a family, community, corpora-
tion, nation or planet". You are proba-
bly wondering what this has to do with
the Texas Chapter. I read this and felt
immediately that this applies not just
to single leaders but to groups as well.
I feel that we should strive to become
limitless leaders in the fisheries profes-
sion.
In our recent ExCom meeting, a com-
ment was made that none of the cur-
rent members of the committee has
been
in
place
for
more
than five years or so. The significance
in this statement is that our group is
dynamic and new people and ideas are
keeping the group moving forward.
Our financial status is holding steady
despite recent market drops, this is
due to the diversity of our invest-
ments. According to our Merrill Lynchrepresentative, because our portfolio is
diverse with investments in the world
market as well as in the U.S., we are
less vulnerable to the fluctuations on
Wall Street. It is great to see the plan-
ning done a few years ago paying off
so well. We have achieved our goal of
establish-
ing a self
perpetu-
ating
scholar-
ship endowment and can now begin to
work on long term funding for other
activities that will benefit the member-
ship at large. Along those lines, the
ExCom has made the decision to move
our annual meeting date to the last
week of January. Our next meeting will
be January 25-27, 1998 in Athens,
Texas. The change is being made in
efforts to increase attendance by
coastal members and students as well
as allow for joint meetings with like
minded groups. John Prentice has the
task of planning the meeting well in
hand. Please contact him if you would
like to help take care of a certain as-
pect of the meeting.m
