EME Committee
Report by SETI League president and station trustee Richard Factor. The EME beacon remains off the air following Mr. Factor's relocation to Arizona. He now has an antenna tower installed, and has retained a roofing contractor to confirm the structural integrity of his roof, as a future mounting location for an EME antenna. Thus, Mr. Factor has "started to begin contemplating whether to think about maybe considering" EME from his new location.

Awards Committee
Awards Committee chairman David Ocame being absent, report provided by Dr. Shuch. There were no Giordano Bruno Awards or Orville N. Greene Awards presented during 2013. Twelve websites have been given the SETI SuperStar award this year. More nominations are requested from the members. Paul will note this in the next issue of SearchLites.

1. Very Small Array
   Dr. Shuch reports that the project remains on hold, due to lack of funding, with no progress to report since last year.
2. Mid-Year Renewal Letter
   Ms. Wood will email a mid-year appeal to lapsed members, with hardcopies to be distributed to members for whom we have no current email address. Last year's letter generated four or five reinstatements of lapsed members.
3. Annual Report
   The SETI League's 2013 Annual Report is available to members via the website, in Portable Document Format (PDF). Ms. Wood will distribute hard-copies of this report to our major donors.
4. Web Server
   Mr. Factor reports that new servers have functioned "satisfactorily and speedly" for two years now, and the website is online and working properly. Weekly web updates are currently being performed manually. Though our email server remains offline, we have successfully activated commercial email service, and will so notify our members via the website.

• Next Meeting
  The next Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday 19 April 2015. The date has been verified as not in conflict with Easter, Passover, or US tax season. The meeting will be at 1300 hours EDT, to be followed immediately by the Board of Trustees meeting. The date and time, as well as telepresence procedures if available, will be announced to the membership via the website and newsletter.

• The SETI League has finally entered the 21st Century, by embracing Facebook as our social networking platform of choice. Press release distribution will henceforth be via our Facebook page www.facebook.com/setileague, and our former email discussion lists will be transitioned to Facebook forums in the coming weeks.
• Ms. Wood has secured a new Windows 8-based laptop computer for SETI League use, and will upgrade her applications software as required.

The Annual Membership Meeting was adjourned by the Executive Director Emeritus at 13:30 hours EDT on 13 April 2014. A Regular Board of Trustees meeting followed.

7. Registered Agent
   The New Jersey Division of Revenue requires that we designate a Registered Agent to execute certain state documents. Mr. Factor was previously appointed to this post, but is no longer a New Jersey resident. The Secretary/Treasurer will determine State residency requirements with regard to this function, after which the Board will make the appropriate appointment.
