Net Income - pre investment income, other and taxes 6,351 2,477 3,874 156%
The unfavorable variance in February revenues results primarily from the cancellation of the Executive Conference (Decision taken in 2007 but after the budget had been finalized) and
secondarily from lower revenues in Membership (Individual and Group), Education (NES), Advertising (Corporate Sponsorships), and Certification (Exam Fees).
This unfavorable variance in February revenues is partially offset by higher than budgeted revenues in Education (Audio Seminars, Books), and
Advertising (Resource Guide, Career Programs - CM Jobs.com, CM Magazine, Website, and Educational Partners).
The favorable variance in February expenses results primarily from the cancellation of the Executive Conference - see comment above - and secondarily from lower expenses in 
Component Relations (Mid-Year conference), Education (NES - variable costs), Creative Services (Career Programs - Salary Survey costs, Corporate Sponsorships - Variable)
and Certification (General Program and Exam expenses)
This favorable variance is partially offset by higher expenses in Governance (BOD -timing), Administration (Building - Utilities and Storage), Finance (Credit Card costs), and
Education (Audio Seminars, Books - variable, LDP - training), Creative Services (Resource Guide, Website, and Educational Partners - variable costs and CM Magazine - variable and printing).

Aggregate Salaries and Benefits for the year to date are as follows: 1,072,610 1,165,030 92,420 7.9%

March and February, a change in the staff configuration, and vacancies for varying periods in Certification, Meetings and Creative Services, partially offset by temporary staff costs
