   Council apparently agreed, for although 1975-76 President Robert Clark described in his Annual Report the morass of major documents before the membership for action, he also indicated that the main question to be considered was the one of individual or institutional membership (Sample, 1986, p. 1.5.11).

   Incoming President Robert Clark, however, faced a "disastrous" situation almost immediately upon taking office; Dick Tombaugh, who Clark viewed as "99 percent of the organization," resigned as Executive Secretary shortly after the conclusion of the Aspen Conference (Clark, 1981).

   ...
   Clark officially accepted Tombaugh's resignation with "deepest regret" and praised the Executive Secretary for his "long and very valuable service to NASFAA" which had "advanced the Association to a position of greater visibility and credibility on the Washington scene" (Newsletter, August 22, 1975).
   ...
   Bob Clark, too, had a major role in the decision to hire Dallas Martin as Executive Secretary.
   ...
   The Association took note of the importance of this area; in the 1975-76 Annual Report outgoing President Clark called for expansion of certification and accreditation efforts.
   ...
   President Clark also wanted to strengthen the committee and commission system, believing that it provided a means of getting the "grass-roots know-how" to the top. He found the commission and committee structure, as it had evolved since 1973, to be a mixture of success and failure (Clark, 1981). In order to help its new Director, Joe McCormick, make the system more responsive to associational needs, Clark solicited volunteers for committee assignments through the NASFAA Newsletter, thus intentionally broadening the base from which appointments could be made (Newsletter, April 5, 1975).
   ...
   His efforts to secure the more effective functioning of the committee system were apparently rewarded; Clark was later recognized as having led the commission and committee system into becoming "a viable mechanism for conducting the activities of the Association" (Newsletter, August 11, 1976).
   
   Both of Clark's two immediate successors, Millie McAuley and Joe McCormick, continued the emphasis on the committee system as a means of involving the membership in NASFAA activities.
   ...
   Infighting among regional representatives marred Council sessions; Bob Clark later recalled the difficulty he had experienced in persuading Council members to take a national perspective on issues facing them (Clark, 1981).
   ...
   As Allan Purdy expressed it in a letter to Sample, Martin, Bolyard, and Clark in 1976, "we just haven't gotten it across to a lot of our members and potential members the value of all the activities that NASFAA offers."
   ...
   Robert Clark edited for NASFAA distribution A Handbook for Use in the Preparation of Student Expense Budgets, compiled from a conference on that topic which NASFAA and MASFAA had co-sponsored (Sample, 1986, p. 12.11.1).
