EXECUTIVE BOARD
The first Executive Board Meeting of the ACDP yearly meeting was held on
Thursday, December 6, 2001 from 4:00-6:00 pm in the San Lucas Room of the
Presidente Inter-Continental Hotel Convention Center Dr. Bers called the meeting to order and the major discussion
centered on selecting the President and President-Elect for next year because
Phyllis Wise is no longer a chair and is not eligible to become President. The Executive Council nominated Irving Joshua as President, and Irving
Zucker as President-Elect. Also,
a new Secretary/Treasurer was also needed, since Aubrey Taylor is resigning as
Chairman of the Physiology Department at the University of South Alabama.
Dr. Phil Best was nominated for Secretary/Treasurer, and Gabriel Navar
and Tony Scarpa will remain as CAS (Council on Academic Societies)
Representatives. The Executive Board then nominated Nicky Partridge, Richard Bergman,
Peter Cala, Michael Jennings and Charles Wood as candidates for vacant Council
positions. It was decided that
the candidate receiving the most votes would serve a three year term, the two
candidates receiving the next largest number of votes would serve two year
terms and the candidate receiving the lowest number of votes would serve a one
year term. Additionally,
the Council recommended that we ask members to nominate others for the
positions in the next General Business Meeting. A motion was made to adjourn and with no other business to discuss, the
motion was seconded and unanimously approved.
MINUTES
OF THE ACDP GENERAL BUSINESS MEETING The General Business Meeting (Part I) was held on Friday, December 7,
2001 from 10:45-11:30 am in the San José Room of the Presidente
Inter-Continental Hotel. The ACDP financial statement was presented by Dr. Taylor and the Council
questioned some of the numbers in the 2001 Budget from Bob Price.
Basically, the ACDP finances are in superb shape and the information
obtained from Bob Price by Dr. Taylor both before and after returning to
Mobile is included in this packet. The members were very disappointed that the salary survey was not
finished in time for this meeting. However,
it was pointed out that this is the first time that an Online submission of
the survey was used and it is not unusual that some glitches occurred.
In addition, Toni Scarpa, Gabriel Navar and Bill Dantzler discussed the
CAS report, Basic Science Leadership and Caucus.
Also, Dr. Bers asked for additional nominations for the Council
vacancies of President, President-Elect and Secretary/Treasurer. A motion was made to adjourn and with no other business to discuss, it
was seconded and unanimously approved. MINUTES
OF THE ACDP GENERAL BUSINESS MEETING The ACDP General Business Meeting (Part II) was held on Saturday, December 8, 2001 from 11:30-12:00 pm in
the San José Room of the Presidente Inter-Continental Hotel in San José del
Cabo, Mexico. Dr. Donald Bers
presided as Moderator. The slate of officers was proposed by Dr. Bers.
He again explained how the officers would be elected and the reason for
so many vacancies. He then asked
for nominations from the floor for President and President-Elect.
Since no new nominations
were put forward, both candidates were unanimously elected for these offices. Phil Best was also unanimously elected for Secretary/Treasurer since he
was also unopposed. Nicky
Partridge, Richard Bergman, Peter Cala and Michael Jennings were the
candidates for Council and the President called for nominations from the floor
but none were proposed. Peter
Cala had the highest number of votes, followed by Nicky Partridge, Michael
Jennings and Richard Bergman in that order.
The motion was made, seconded, and unanimously approved that Cala would
serve a three year term, Partridge and Jennings would both serve a two year
term, and Bergman would serve a one year term.
Also, the members unanimously approved Gabriel Navar to serve a three
year term on CAS. A lively discussion occurred concerning the survey and it was clear that
there were glitches with the Online process this year which need to be
corrected in the future. Toni Scarpa announced that plans were being made for the 2002 ACDP
Meeting to be held December 5-8, 2002 in Sante Fe, New Mexico.
Additional information about this meeting will be forthcoming. With no further
business to discuss, a motion was made to adjourn which was seconded and
unanimously approved by all members. MINUTES
