THE BDS MONITOR CREATES A MONTHLY DIGEST OF GLOBAL BDS ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING A NEWSLETTER THAT INCLUDES LINKS TO NEWS ITEMS, OPINIONS, AND ANALYTICAL PIECES, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TOWARD INSIGHTS FROM THE PRO-PEACE COMMUNITY. 1645956 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false PA X LYNNE LINDBLAD 6106132383 3651 WAYNESFIELD DRIVE NEWTOWN SQUARE PA 19073 ASAF ROMIROWSKY PHD Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 191259 0 0 MARK T CLARK PHD President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURI B REGAN JD VICE PRES/TREAS 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ELVIRA GROEZINGER DPHIL Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT LLOYD PHD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH M SKELLY PHD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KARLGEORG RAIMUND KRUGER MD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA ROBINSON DIVINE PHD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD LANDES PHD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES JACOBS EDD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD L CRAVATTS PHD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID MENASHRI PHD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEILA BECKWITH PHD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN R COHN MD Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALEX JOFFE PHD BDS EDITOR 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 191259 1 false true false 0 26915 1217865 468 1244780 BOOK SALES 459210 445 445 JOURNAL ROYALTIES 513120 7048 7048 7493 3467 3467 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1255740 7493 3467 0 110375 110375 0 0 191259 95629 95630 0 165000 107500 57500 0 20945 11942 3380 5623 25187 14361 4065 6761 0 747519 747519 46297 46297 0 0 0 142567 141808 285 474 6410 6410 12706 12706 27601 23378 4223 0 2767 1660 1107 28925 19497 9428 0 119974 119974 0 0 622 622 6189 719 5132 338 LECTURES AND SYMPOSIA 141007 141007 PUBLICATIONS AND JOURNALS 103905 103905 CREDIT CARD FEES 4582 4582 TELEPHONE 3941 3941 5025 272 4753 1912803 1645956 148593 118254 870341 519467 1179940 868463 0 0 2100 2500 0 0 0 2192 2250 27100 24918 334 2182 0 0 0 0 0 2054907 1394862 8118 5136 8118 5136 X 704447 642562 1342342 747164 2046789 1389726 2054907 1394862 -657063 X false true X false false X 1004498 1079269 1020393 1622428 1244780 5971368 0 0 1004498 1079269 1020393 1622428 1244780 5971368 0 5971368 315 492 11242 -5964 3467 9552 0 0 5980920 7493 0.99840 0.99870 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8100 5918 2182 19000 19000 2182 1255740 1255740 1255740 1912803 1912803 1912803 true 0 0 BERNARD LEWIS PRIZES 4 10000 RESEARCH GRANTS 39 83125 TRAVEL GRANTS - TO PRESENT RESEARCH 27 17250 X X false false false false false false false false false ASAF ROMIROWSKY PHD Executive Dir. 191259 191259 ASAF ROMIROWSKY PHD OFFICER P/R ADVANCE X 2500 2500 false true false 2500 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b AFTER THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT, THE ORGANIZATION'S TREASURER REVIEWS, SIGNS AND FILES THE RETURN.
