Membership above 1,000!

BIGGER is better.  Thanks to all who contributed to the hat during the 2013 OOW Business Meeting.  Those donations allowed us to fund new student members.  That effort, coupled with a membership drive led by Victoria Johnson and Erin Kelly, pushed our section past the 1,000 member mark to 1,022 (a 2.5% increase over last year).  This increase has earned us a sixth OOW session PLUS one session co-organized with the Economic Sociology Section at the ASA 2014 meetings in San Francisco!
