2016 Expenses ($164,002.45)

• Our net income in 2016 was $81,171.39

– Royalties and allowances for Educational Psychologist continue to be the greatest source of income – We should continue to anticipate lower amounts in a renegotiated contract with the publisher

• Assets to date

– $268,190 in our checking account – $250,689 in our money market account with Merrill Lynch – $488,058 in our TIAA account as of 12/31/2016.

• $515,953.35 in our TIAA account as of 4/30/2017.

– That means our net assets and total liabilities amount to $1,124,425.46 as of the end of 2016. The investments in a more aggressive growth plan to obtain financial stability for the Division appear to be effective with an estimated annual income of $11,036.49

Miss and Honor Marty Carr

Adapted from: hOps://coe.uga.edu/news/2017/08/educa>onal-psychology- professor-marty-carr-helped-children-excel-in-mathema>cs Marty Carr, a professor in the department of educa5onal psychology at the University of Georgia, who dedicated her career to researching the development of mathema5cs literacy in young children, died from cancer this week on July 30, 2017. A memorial service is expected in a few weeks. Marty’s husband predeceased her in 2015. Their daughter, Miranda, is a sophomore at the University of Georgia. Marty Carr’s prominence in both the educa>onal psychology and mathema>cs educa>on research communi>es: President and Fellow of Division 15 as well as president of the Women in Mathema>cs Educa>on organiza>on. Even early this year Marty volunteered to edit Div. 15’s future edi>on of the Handbook of Educa>onal Psychology. Dr. Marty Carr’s passion for closing the mathema>cs achievement gap for students not only provided the field with cri>cal informa>on about how instruc>on can be improved, but it also helped lay the founda>on for future researchers in the field.

• As of July’s official roster, we currently have

1846 enrolled members.

• Historically, we’ve seen a jump of ~130

members after the APA Convention and prior to year’s end (as averaged between the three years this has been tracked). As such, we’re projecting year-end membership of roughly 1975, which is nearly identical to last year’s total and within 6% of the peak we achieved in 2014 prior to the release of the Hoffman Report (after which we experienced a decline in membership sentiment alongside APA and

• ther divisions).
• Beginning after the APA Convention, a new

initiative piloted by Wade George and the Membership Committee—“Graduate Student Ambassadors”—will commence with an inaugural class of ~50 members. This program is designed to build relationships with doctoral students and introduce them to Division 15 service. Simultaneously, it allows us to expand the frequency and reach of our messaging to their schools, as the primary

• bjective of this program is to disseminate
• ur messages (including calls to join) among

their programs. Finally, this program will allow us to survey students about the issues and challenges they’re facing each year, which will inform our services and membership marketing.

Membership

Over 8,800 combined social followers—already up 12.8% from 2016’s year-end numbers. This puts us among the most followed of all APA Divisions. We expect to hit 10,000+ by the end of the year. Consistent quarterly growth through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Followers connecting predominantly through Facebook (the world’s largest and most active social network).

We continue to use both organic and paid

advertising to maximize our reach among a well- defined and targeted audience of educational psychologists.

Recently achieved milestones of 5,000+ followers on Facebook and 2,000+ via

• Twitter. Expect to hit 1,000+ via LinkedIn

during this year.

Social Growth

Follower Demographics

Highlights

Followers are nearly 3x as likely to identify as female. And, roughly 1/2 of all followers identify as women between the ages

• f 25-44.

We’re currently most effective in reaching those between 25-44 years of age (who constitute 64% of our total following on Facebook). These numbers align well with enrollment of core membership types as of the last Division 15 roster we received. Just 69% of our users have a listed primary address in the United States (88% have a form of English as their listed primary language). As such, we’re doing a good job of proliferating our messaging around the globe.

(As pulled from Facebook on July 26, 2017)

• Previous years’ posts continue to enjoy

new readers, making this outlet increasingly valuable each year. For instance, in 2017 alone we’ve already seen over 14,000 new views for articles from previous years.

• We’re currently four posts into Bonnie

Meyer’s 2017 Presidential Theme (with a fifth set for release any day and a sixth in production).

• We’re currently projecting to see 2017

eclipse 40,000 total reads (which would be a new Division 15 high). We also recently passed the 100,000 read mark for our blog.

• We continue to seek high-quality

content for publication. Please send pitches to Wade George (wade.george@apadiv15.org) for additional information on how to contribute. Those interested may find links to the blog via the Division 15 website (apadiv15.org) under the “Publications” menu.
