In order that the [[Board]] and Membership of The Augustan Society, Inc., remain remained appraised of the activities of the [[Consuls]], and of their opinion of how the Society is doing and where attention is needed, it has been customary for between 2007 and 2016 the Consuls to deliver delivered a '''State of the Society''' address at the [[Annual Meeting]] or the meeting of the [[Board|Board of Directors]] immediately following.
Copies of those addresses are occasionally distributed to the entire Board or Membership at the direction of the Board. Some years, the address is used as an occasion for a confidential update to the Board; access to these is restricted; members may contact [[Headquarters]] for a copy.
The addresses we have been able to locate to date are here:complied and stored in this Wiki. Note, there was no such an adress in 2011, nor in any year from 2017 on.

With the office of Consul being terminated at the end of in 2017, that year's responsibility for the State of the Society address will be the last. Should the need for such be felt, addresses falls to the [[PresidentChairman]] or Board could request such reports from a member , and in the vacancy of that office, to the [[Headquarters StaffPresident]]. It should be noted that the President or Board will have to make such a request in each year. One hopes it will be done in sufficient time for the report to be prepared.
