Members and friends: I was asked by Nadarajah Sriskandarajah, organizer of COCE 2013, to introduce the conference keynote speaker, John Dryzek. As part of my introductory comments, I posed the question, "What will IECA look like in 2018?" Here is how I answered the question---
In 2018, five years from now, IECA will have:
*achieved three consecutive years in which revenue meets or exceeds expenditures
*increased its individual membership three-fold, to over 850 members, with at least a third of those members coming from non-academic sectors (education, practitioner, NGO, etc.)
*increased its organizational members to 25
