Subcommittee Reports

a. The Program subcommittee sent out minutes of their meeting. Also John Clancy of the Programs Subcommittee reported that it may be possible to get federal or state funding to support an interns’ salaries. Clancy said that the money is received as a reimbursable. Clancy will check into more details about these funding possibilities.

New Business - Terms of Committee Members

Prior to the meeting, Rob Bistodeau sent an e-mail to the committee about how half of the committee, for this first membership cycle only, is on a three-year appointment and the other half of the committee is on a two-year appointment. Members were requested to consider whether they wished to 1) complete a three-year term, 2) begin a new two-year term, or 3) resign from the committee. At today’s meeting, Bistodeau polled the people present. Six members (Bistodeau, Clancy, Goo, Jones, Price, and Troian) are definitely staying for the three-year appointment. Bistodeau will finish contacting the absent members to see if they want to resign or sign up for another two-year commitment. Price will check on the actual number of Region and Center employees to determine the appropriate representation at each location. In addition, we will determine if Dr. Tillman and Rod McInnis want to send out an e-mail soliciting new members or whether they would prefer that the Administrative Subcommittee sends the request.

Old Business - Approval of Work plans

Rosemary Troian and other committee members discussed the Speakers’ Bureau Workplan. Troian will revise the work plan according to recommendations and the plan will be approved.

John Clancy will do some more work on the Develop Outreach Materials Award Workplan and will submit the plan at the next committee meeting.

The next meeting will be Wed. Dec. 5 at 1:30 p.m.
