Mission
IASP brings together scientists, clinicians, health care
providers, and policy makers to stimulate and support the study of pain and to translate that knowledge into improved
pain relief worldwide.
Vision
Working together for pain relief throughout the world
our Mission

As we near the second decade of the new millennium, it is a perfect time to review our accomplishments for the past year, and
assess how we are meeting the overall long-term goals in our Strategic Plan. With that in mind, this Annual Report looks at some of
the milestones of 2009 and the goals they support. These goals, highlighted at the top of every page, unite our diverse, international
membership and keep our leadership focused as we prioritize our limited funds and limitless opportunities. As you read the report,
you’ll see evidence of:
Our commitment to an active, international, multidisciplinary membership through increased funding for visiting professor
grants to chapters and for Council liaisons to travel to Asia and Latin America;
Our efforts to raise public awareness of the need for improved pain relief through a more comprehensive campaign for the
Global Year Against Pain® with many more translations of press releases and fact sheets;
Ways we improved distribution of knowledge and information by increasing the use of electronic communications and enhancing our website to
make it easier to access the journal PAIN®, pay dues, and buy IASP Press® books;
Our commitment to promote pain research and improve pain management in the developing world and developed countries through increased
grant funding, expansion of our developing countries education program, creation of new clinical fellowships in Latin America and Southeast Asia,
and increased travel grants to allow more trainees and others to attend the World Congress on Pain®;
Initiatives to strengthen IASP structure, performance, and visibility such as successful recruitment efforts to bring in new volunteers for our
many committees, task forces, and working groups, and a new, updated brand that enhances our visibility and image.
With the change in frequency of the World Congress on Pain to every two years, 2009 marked the first time IASP officers serve only two short years, from one
Congress to the next. With shortened timelines and an ever-growing list of projects, it is gratifying to see what our elected Council members, volunteers, and staff
accomplished. With your continued support and participation, I know that we will meet our goals as we work together for pain relief throughout the world.

Chapters
A vital link between IASP and local pain researchers and clinicians, IASP’s chapters
represent the pain issues and interests of each country, united by a shared vision
of working together for pain relief throughout the world. IASP support for its
chapters was increased by $50,000 to fund visiting professor grants and other
activities. Chapters are encouraged to share their news with others through the IASP
Newsletter and website.
Four new chapters in the countries of Georgia, Ghana, Jordan, and San Marino
joined IASP as chapters-in-formation in 2009, bringing the total number of IASP
chapters to 82 at the close of the year. Full chapter status is usually conferred
only in the General Assembly at the Congress, but Bosnia-Herzegovina became a
chapter in late 2009 with a proxy vote by the Council.
Special Interest Groups
Fourteen Special Interest Groups (SIGs) allow IASP clinicians and researchers
to network, share information and discuss shared special interests with their
colleagues through online forums, e-newsletters, and meetings. In 2009, many
of the SIGs held meetings, launched e-newsletters, or published information on
the website for their members. Among the highlights:
The 3rd Meeting of the SIG on Acute Pain, “Acute Pain in Surgical Routine,” was
held in Cologne, Germany in December 2009, co-sponsored by the German
Surgical Society, DGSS and other German societies.
International Consensus Workshop, “Convergence on an Orofacial Pain
Taxonomy,” was organized by the Orofacial Pain SIG and the International RDC/
TMD Consortium Network of International Association for Dental Research on
March 30-April 1, 2009 in Miami, Florida, USA.

“New Publications in Pediatric Pain,” a regularly
updated blog that lists recent publications in the field
of pediatric pain, was added to the Pain in Childhood
SIG website at www.childpain.org/recentpubs.
The Pain in Childhood SIG worked on the ChildKind
Hospitals Initiative in partnership with the World
Health Organization, Mayday Fund, and others.
The Pain of Urogenital Origin (PUGO) SIG held a
conference on “Convergences in Pelvi-Perineal Pain”
in Nantes, France in December 2009.
Many of the SIGs spent time planning meetings and
symposia to take place in Montréal, Canada for the
13th World Congress on Pain.

Meetings
In June 2009, the 8th annual IASP Research Symposium was held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, with a focus on cancer pain. The European Federation of Chapters of IASP (EFIC), which encompasses 31 countries and 15,000 pain researchers and clinicians in Europe, held its annual Congress, “Pain in Europe VI,” in Lisbon in September 2009.
Planning for the 13th World Congress on Pain in 2010, led by Jeffrey Mogil, chair of the Scientific Program Committee, and Manon Choinière, chair of the Local Arrangements Committee, was in full swing in 2009, with a tight timeline due to the change in frequency from every three years to a biennial basis. As a result of member input, the Congress schedule was shortened by one day. Future Congresses will be held:
• 14th World Congress on Pain
Yokohama, Japan October 2–6, 2012
• 15th World Congress on Pain

Global Year Against Cancer Pain
The Global Year Against Cancer Pain campaign, which launched in October
2008 with the theme of “Raising Awareness, Improving Treatment, Growing
Support,” continued strong during 2009. Initially, 11 fact sheets were made
available to the public. By the end of the campaign in October 2009, 21 fact
sheets were available in seven different languages (Arabic, Chinese, English,
French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish). After a busy launch, many IASP
chapters in 2009 continued to hold events in conjunction with the Global Year
theme, such as:
January 13, 2009: The Israel Pain Association, in conjunction with the Israel
Oncologists’ Society, hosted a gallery show which showcased an artist who
experiences cancer pain. March 11, 2009: Specialists from the German Pain Society offered
information on cancer pain over a free nationwide hotline. July 24-25, 2009: The Asociacion Chilena para el Estudio del Dolor ran a
course on Cancer Pain in Viña Del Mar.

adVoCaCY Global Year Against Musculoskeletal Pain
The Global Year Against Musculoskeletal Pain, led by co-chairs Lars Arendt-Nielsen
(Denmark) and Kathleen Sluka (Canada), launched in 2009 to draw attention to the disabling
pain experienced from musculoskeletal disorders. The goals for the campaign included
disseminating information on musculoskeletal pain worldwide, with a particular emphasis in
developing countries; educating pain researchers and clinicians within IASP and the larger
global community of health care professionals; increasing awareness of musculoskeletal
pain among government officials, media, and the general public worldwide; and encouraging
government leaders, research institutions, and other key decision-makers to support more
research, ultimately producing more effective and accessible treatment methods and
outcomes for people with musculoskeletal pain. A central theme—“When Moving Hurts…
Assess, Understand, Take Action”—was chosen because musculoskeletal pain is a complex
and far-reaching problem that encompasses many different types of pain including neck pain,
limb pain, low back pain, joint pain, bone pain, and chronic widespread pain.
The campaign launched on October 19, 2009 with a press release distributed globally in
Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish.
On that date, the website offered 23 fact sheets for download in five languages (Arabic,
Chinese, English, French, and Spanish). Chapter leaders volunteered to translate fact sheets
into Danish, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, and Serbian. In addition to
translating fact sheets, many chapters offered translations of the logo and tagline, which
were ultimately available in all the fact sheet languages plus Romanian, Sinhala, and Tamil.
For the first time, the Global Year Task Force created an online discussion forum designated
for the campaign. Throughout the year, case studies posted to the forum provided topics
for discussion for 270 members of IASP who joined the forum. Also for the first time,
IASP made the Global Year poster available in high-resolution files for download from the
website, and offered a Global Year Event Checklist to help guide chapters and other groups
to organize events or activities around the Global Year theme.
From Symposium to SIG
On June 4-5, 2009, the 8th IASP Research Symposium, “A Global Problem: Cancer Pain from the Laboratory to the Bedside,” took place in Chicago, Illinois, USA, providing a forum for in-depth discussion and analysis of basic and clinical research surrounding the problem of cancer pain. Conference organizers Judith Paice (USA), Eija Kalso (Finland), Olaitan Soyannwo (Nigeria), and Rae Bell (Norway), also edited a book based on the symposium, Cancer Pain: From Molecules to Suffering, which was published by IASP Press in 2010. The symposium attracted a diverse international audience of 55 participants along with 23 speakers and co-chairs. Topics included basic mechanisms of cancer pain, inflammation and hyperalgesia in cancer pain, opioid tolerance, clinical trial designs in cancer pain, psychology of cancer pain, education, and international issues. Poster sessions were held to allow young investigators to share their research. In addition to the IASP grant for research symposia, industry support allowed registration fees to remain relatively low. Overwhelmingly positive evaluations requested that this conference be repeated on a regular basis. As a result of the interest shown, the Global Year Task Force moved forward with an application for a Cancer Pain Special Interest Group (SIG) within IASP.

Electronic Communication
With the goal of improving communications to IASP members, in 2009 IASP increased the
use of electronic communications; made online improvements to make it easier to pay
dues, access the journal PAIN and buy IASP Press books; and redesigned the website.
In March, IASP switched to a new system for its email blasts to give recipients the
opportunity to manage their email preferences, reducing the percentage of messages
lost to spam or junk filters. Electronic correspondence to members more than doubled
from 2008 to 2009, with members receiving more than 70 e-blasts from IASP about
topics such as Congress registration, PAIN table of contents, new books from IASP
Press, and the Global Year. In late October, IASP launched the SIG e-newsletter template,
a change that cut down on the production time and mailing costs, enabling the staff to
send out five e-newsletters in the last two months of the year.
The IASP website sported a new look in April to reflect the new logo and rebranding,
while other changes improved the functionality of the site: the IASP Press page
incorporated “one-click” shopping; an interactive map added to the Chapter
section allows visitors to easily find chapters; SIGs received a mini-site with links
to newsletters, meetings, websites, and new discussion forums; and a new Trusted
Proxy Server for PAIN allowed members to employ a single sign-on for the IASP
website and online access to the journal. A major change came at the end of the year,
when IASP switched to an online application system, allowing members to join online.
The addition of a Quick Poll on the website to query members about their preferences
provides immediate feedback to staff on a variety of topics.

Raising Our Profile, Expanding Our ReachIASP Participates in Pain Meetings Around the World
ASEAPS Congress in Bali. From left, sponsored delegates Vanpheng Norasingh (Laos), Bouathep Phoumindr (Laos), Khin Myo Hla (Myanmar), and Tuan Nguyen (Vietnam); Immediate-Past IASP President Troels S. Jensen (Denmark); IASP Executive Director Kathy Kreiter (USA); sponsored delegates Thaung Myint (Myanmar), Jampel Tshering (Bhutan), Ranjith Pallegama (Sri Lanka), Khantey Om (Cambodia), Anura Ariyawardana (Sri Lanka), Sovandy Chan (Cambodia), and Dat Le Huu (Vietnam)
2009 is proving to be another productive year for IASP chapter meetings and other pain-related events across the globe. Members of the IASP Council, headquarters staff, and other representatives have taken part in several such gatherings to show their support. These meetings, and the IASP information booth at each, offer opportunities to increase our visibility, invite nonmembers to join IASP, and highlight our core mission of working together for pain relief throughout the world.
ASEAPS 3rd Congress in Bali
The Joint Meeting of the 3rd Congress of the Association of Southeast Asian Pain Societies (ASEAPS) and the Neuropathic Pain Special Interest Group (NeuPSIG) took place on April 17–20 in Sanur, Bali, Indonesia. ASEAPS President Idrus A. Paturusi (Indonesia) presided over the successful gathering, which drew nearly 700 attendees mainly from Southeast Asia.
This three-day meeting, which was organized by A. Husni Tanra (Indonesia), featured talks by a number of leading pain researchers and clinicians from Southeast Asia and beyond, with sessions addressing many of the pain problems currently faced by countries in the region. While some countries have developed programs for pain management—in part because of the efforts of the IASP chapters behind ASEAPS—others, such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Brunei, Bhutan, and Myanmar, still lack the infrastructure to address their populations’ pain education and management issues.
Troels S. Jensen (Denmark), Immediate-Past President of IASP, spoke at the opening session and presented an informative overview and history of IASP since its founding in 1973. IASP Executive Director Kathy Kreiter also participated, pledging IASP’s support for the Southeast Asian countries’ pain education needs.
In addition, with financial support from IASP, nine physicians and two dentists from across the region traveled to Bali and took part in the meeting (see names in photo caption).
Other IASP participants included IASP Councilors Cynthia Goh (Singapore) and Maged El Ansari (Egypt), Past IASP President Michael R. Bond (United Kingdom), and Past IASP Councilor and current NeuPSIG Chair Rolf-Detlef Treede (Germany). They, along with Jensen and Kreiter, met with the 11 sponsored attendees to explore the need for pain management and education in their respective countries and to see how IASP might help—perhaps by forming new chapters in those countries or assisting with pain education efforts. The sponsored attendees expressed gratitude for IASP’s support and were enthusiastic about forming pain groups in their countries.
ASEAPS is comprised of pain experts from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. For more information on ASEAPS and further details from the 3rd Congress, visit their website: www.aseaps2009.net (Continued on page 2)
Printed Publications
IASP Newsletter
All IASP members receive quarterly issues of the IASP Newsletter, which is also
available for members only to download in PDF format on the IASP website. The
newsletter was redesigned in 2009 and continued to provide information on IASP
leadership, chapters, SIGs, grants and fellowships, IASP Press, membership,
events, job opportunities, and more.
PAIN®
The most cited journal on the subject of pain, PAIN is edited by Editor-in- Chief
Allan I. Basbaum and 2009 Section Editors Ed Charlton (Clinical Notes), Frank
Keefe (Clinical Psychology), Eija Kalso (Clinical Sciences), Jeffry Mogil and Rolf
Detlef-Treede (Neurobiology), Karen Davis (Pain Measurement and Imaging),
Frank Porreca (Pharmacology), and Mike Rowbotham (Reviews and e-PAIN),
with the help of many associate and support editors all over the world. Once
again in 2009, the 2008 Thomson Reuteurs Journal Citation Reports confirmed
an increase in PAIN’s impact factor, which measures, among other criteria,
how often journal articles are cited during a given time period. PAIN received
an impact factor of 6.030 in 2009 (for 2008 articles cited), compared to 5.249
the year prior. Category rankings were: Anesthesiology (1/22 or first out of
the 22 journals read by anesthesiologists), Clinical Neurology (8/156) and
Neurosciences (21/219).
In January 2009, IASP’s official scientific journal adopted a new cover design
with an updated title font and more eye-catching artwork while retaining certain
graphic elements such as the adjoined capital letters in the title. In his January
2009 editorial, Editor-in-Chief Basbaum wrote, “The new cover is definitely a
21st century cover…that we believe will allow PAIN to stand out even more
from the many pain-focused journals that have appeared in recent years.” In
February 2009, PAIN began using the Elsevier Editorial System (EES), providing a
better system for editors to manage article submissions and revisions. The PAIN
Editorial Board decided to change the “Editorial” section name to “Commentary.”

Pain: Clinical Updates
The newsletter Pain: Clinical Updates aims to inform
clinicians about advances in the field, both scientific and
clinical, and where necessary, explore how scientific
advances can influence clinical practice. The strength
of the updates lies with its authors—IASP members
and experts who use the foundation of science to reach
across cultural and philosophical boundaries. Distributed
by mail to all IASP members and sent to chapter
meetings, the newsletter is also freely available on the
IASP website as a service to the medical community and
to help fulfill the educational mission of the IASP. Jane

Anxiety and Chronic PainOpioids in Cancer PainCoping with Pain
“Thank you for giving me my life back.” Through frustration and failure, the promise of hearing these words sustains those who treat pain sufferers. The first time I heard them I felt great pride. With time, however, I came to understand that my efforts and my patients’ gratitude were manifestations of a much larger process. This issue of Pain: Clinical Updates examines that bigger process and attempts to tie together some threads from my 15-year stewardship of this newsletter. As a valedictory reflection by its founding editor, it focuses upon the unique role that moral education—particularly through low-tech, social means such as conversation and personal example1—plays in sustaining the “pain community” of researchers2 and clinicians, and the value of Pain: Clinical Updates in this enterprise. Concern for pain relief reflects human instincts for fairness and empathy in the face of suffering. Pain research, education, and care are therefore intertwined with attitudes and ethics to a degree nearly unique among biomedical fields.3 Given pain’s moral dimension, pain-related educational tools that merely convey factual information often fall flat.4 Such resources—culminating in quantitative distillations of clinical evidence—typically fail to engage health care providers. We are now just beginning to understand the mechanisms through which social5,6 and cultural7 influences shape unconscious perceptions and attitudes toward people in pain. Interactions based upon shared narrative,8,9 dialogue, tutoring, and admiration1 have great persuasive power.
Moral education plays a uniquely important role in sustaining the “pain community”
These old-fashioned resources access belief and behavior on a personal scale, shape subconscious attitudes, convey tacit knowledge,10 and offer a platform for dialogue among colleagues, patients,11 and families.2 The use of Pain: Clinical Updates to support international pain education and IASP’s ongoing Global Year Against Pain campaigns illustrates the merit of this low-tech approach to pain education. Education about pain is a social process. So, too, is the very phenomenon of pain. Many seemingly paradoxical aspects of pain are readily explained from a social Darwinist perspective.
Paradoxical Pain
For many in the “first world,” daily life long ago ceased to be a struggle to survive. Population growth, pollution, urban crowding, obesity,12 diabetes, and information overload—problems generated by over-meeting basic human needs—persist even in the current economic downturn.13,14 Yet survey after survey continues to find underassessment and undertreatment of pain as the default condition in developed and developing countries alike.15,16 Pain control’s recent appearance on the agenda of regulatory agencies reflects an

Editor-in-Chief M. Catherine Bushnell and the Advisory Board, consisting of
Lars Arendt-Nielsen, José M. Castro-Lopes, Kathleen A. Sluka, and Irene M.
Tracey, have led IASP Press in following its mission of publishing timely, high-
quality, and reasonably priced books relating to pain research and
treatment. New books released in 2009 included: Mechanisms and Management of Pain for the Physical Therapist – Kathleen
A. Sluka (Editor) Current Topics in Pain: 12th World Congress on Pain –
José M. Castro-Lopes (Editor) Functional Pain Syndromes: Presentation and Pathophysiology – Emeran A.
Mayer and M. Catherine Bushnell (Editors)
Current Topics in Pain was a departure from previous Congress proceedings
in offering only the plenary and distinguished lectures, representing the
state of the art of knowledge about many aspects of pain research and
management. Functional Pain Syndromes brought together authors from
many disciplines, including pain medicine, gastroenterology, psychiatry,
physiology, genetics, and neuroscience, and has received appreciative
reviews by various associations representing gastrointestinal disorders and
interstitial cystitis. Mechanisms and Management of Pain for the Physical
Therapist has received praise as a useful textbook for physical therapy
courses and a valuable resource for the practicing physical therapist.
The IASP Press team made progress in expanding marketing efforts beyond
the IASP membership, with outreach to university faculty, displays of books at
scientific meetings, and an increase in the number and diversity of journals

Grants, Fellowships, and Collaborations
IASP is committed to help strengthen pain management infrastructure in the developing
world, and expanded efforts in this area in 2009. In addition to its educational support grants,
IASP works with professional organizations operating existing programs that share IASP’s
goal to improve education and clinical training in developing countries, and collaborates with
outside organizations to provide grants and fellowships in the developing world. In 2009,
IASP renewed its year-long international fellowship in clinical training in pain management,
which began in 2008 with a pilot project in Southeast Asia. IASP members began expansion
of this program though site visits to assess programs and venues to establish a second
clinical training fellowship in Latin America. Also, work took place on a future collaboration
with Hospice Africa for pain relief at the end of life. Assessments of the Developing Countries
Working Group, which reviews applications and reports, and works on new projects,
commented on the high standard of reports reviewed from work completed in 2008. The
following educational and pain management projects received support from IASP in 2009:
A three-month clinical/education course in Bangkok for two students at
US$10,000 at the Siriraj Hospital, Pain Relief Unit in Bangkok, Thailand.
Recipients: Dr. Soe Nyunt and Dr. Aun Kyl (Myanmar)
A one-year Clinical Training Fellowship in Bangkok, Thailand at US$5,000,
with an additional US$5,000 provided by the World Federation of Societies of
Anesthesiology (WFSA).
Recipient: Dr. Keo Phommarat (Laos) under the mentorship of Dr P.
Chaudakastrin at the Siriraj Hospital, Pain Relief Unit (Bangkok, Thailand)
Kybele, an association that works towards the improvement of childbirth and
infant survival, received funding for the second consecutive year from IASP. In
2009 this US$20,000 award was used in Armenia, Ghana and Georgia.
14
IASP’s educational support grants address the need for
improved education about pain and pain management in
developing countries. These grants aim to improve the scope
and availability of essential education for pain clinicians of
all disciplines, taking into account specific local needs. IASP
leadership increased the number of award recipients in 2009,

leadershiPStrengthen IASP structure, performance, and visibility
IASP Secretariat
IASP sent more frequent and detailed communications
to all members and chapters with the launch of
e-newsletters, a better system to send broadcast emails,
and improvements to the website. All chapters began
receiving a regularly scheduled Letter from the President
devised to keep Chapter Presidents and members better
informed. The Council changed the timing of the dues
payments in 2009, so that membership terms expire at
different times during the year. This change allows dues
notices to be sent throughout the year and avoids any
delay in mailing copies of PAIN® to new members.
Members of the IASP Council serving on a Logo Task
Force launched a new brand for IASP in early 2009,
complete with a new logo, colors, and a new look for all
IASP publications and materials. Task force members
unanimously recommended the final design for its “global
appearance and for the collaborative message that it
conveys,” IASP President G.F. Gebhart announced at the
time. The logo retained a globe on the logo to reflect IASP’s
worldwide presence and the global impact of its efforts.
The “brush-stroked” effect of the globe’s image evokes
a humanistic feel that captures the core mission of IASP,
and the blue and green intersecting squares represent the
cooperative efforts of scientists and clinicians from many
different specialties.
IASP Leadership
In an effort to bring member benefits to as many areas of
the world as possible, IASP leaders traveled to chapters
all over the world in 2009 to speak at and attend national
events. The Council also made a major change to the
method of recruiting volunteers for committees in
order to create better representation from around the
world in IASP leadership. The first Call for Volunteers
went out via email to all members in February 2009,
resulting in a large number of new volunteers from
diverse geographic areas and disciplines to serve
and provide their expertise on IASP committees and
working groups. In addition to these groups, many
members serve on task forces created to work on
shorter-term projects and activities, including Wait
Times, Global Year Against Pain, and pain education
schools. Thank you to all IASP members who
volunteered their time and expertise in 2009.

2009 Committees and Working Groups
Audit CommitteeChair: Eija Kalso (Finland)
Report Highlights
The Task Force on Wait-Times, chaired by Beverly Collett (UK), was established in January 2009 to conduct an audit of existing wait times and to develop recommendations that would serve as a basis for IASP-endorsed guidelines for medically acceptable wait times for treatment of chronic pain throughout the world.
A Task Force on Summer School, chaired by Cynthia Goh (Singapore) was developed to explore expansion of the European “Summer School” that provides education and training in pain management. A recommendation was made to conduct this summer educational course in the three continents where pain services are just developing: Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
In Latin America, IASP provided financial support for chapter meetings in Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina by financing foreign speakers at chapter meetings, and by funding a course on Basic Science of Pain preceding the Congress of the Argentinean Chapter.
In an effort to give assistance to help clinicians in countries that have limited pain management educational opportunities, IASP sponsored representatives from Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka to attend the ASEAPS meeting in Bali. The attendees were able to network with other members of the pain communities and have since engaged in additional educational opportunities and fostered IASP membership in their countries.

IASP Accounts for 2009
I must take this opportunity to acknowledge the
work of our accounting team, our Executive Director
Kathy Kreiter and our Auditors Clark Nuber, in that
for the first time we were able to finalize the 2009
Report and Accounts at the beginning of May this
year. Last year, IASP set a target to bring forward the
audit and final accounts preparation timetable, which
previously had extended through to the second half
of the year. This is a significant achievement and one that contributes to timely and
improved financial oversight.
Financial Statements to December 31, 2009
The 2009 Accounts show total net assets of $9,326,069 at December 31, 2009.
This represents an increase of $256,569 during the 2009 financial year (compared
to the increase of $1,105,983 during the 2008 financial year—a Congress year).
IASP is not immune from the prevailing world-wide adverse economic conditions
and these did affect our income streams. Core revenue in 2009 was $3,040,177, a
decrease of $449,458 from 2008 (2008 $3,489,635). Membership dues were down
by 9%, Royalties from our journal PAIN were down by 25% and book sales by 13%.
However, IASP was able to maintain its commitment to fully funding the program
services—Publications and Education, IASP Press, and Awards and Grants. 2009
expenditure on these programs increased by $122,079 to $2,795,718 ($2,673,639 in
2008). Management and General expenses increased marginally to $401,758 (2008
$385,623). Other income and contributions of $467,441 were offset by investment
costs of $10,959 and costs associated with the 2008 and 2010 Congresses totaling
$173,230.These, together with the core income and program expenditure detailed
above, result in a change in net assets from Operating Activities of ($330,529).
However, the unrealized gain on our investment portfolio was $587,098 (in 2008
there was an unrealized loss of $456,222), which more than offsets this deficit and
culminates in the 2009 gain in net assets of $256,569.
In Conclusion
As is evident from this brief report on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
and Statement of Operating Activities, 2009 was a particularly challenging year for
IASP finances. The unrealized gains on investments were a welcome reversal from
the position at January 31, 2008 I reported last year. This was obviously related to
improvement in financial markets generally throughout 2009 and IASP looks forward,
hopefully, to more stable market conditions in the future. Our investment strategy
has been reviewed and action taken to further safeguard and make best use of these
assets. It is obviously of considerable concern that 2009 core revenues have decreased
substantially. The dependency of the Association on the income from PAIN has been
highlighted in every Treasurer’s Reports to Council and the Executive Committee and in
the notes to these and previous years’ accounts. The reduction in revenue from PAIN of
$576,905 from 2008 was entirely due to the fall in revenue from commercial reprints.
The Executive Committee and Council are aware of the requirement to address these
shortfalls in revenue, to carefully control costs and to be cautious in our use and
application of funds.
Respectfully submitted,
Beverly Collett
Treasurer
