Award Committee Report deferred to tonight’s dinner
AsMA Liaison report: Dr. Landsman reported two main issues:

AsMA decided not to try to manage AMDA finances – therefore we are we are still financially independent

AsMA also wants to slim down its governance to 8 people for increased efficiency – counsel is being considered not to have any input into governance- if you have any concerns let executive committee know
Dr. Hudson also reported about CME status: now UK recognizes aerospace medicine as a medical specialty, and US CME is recognized by Royal College for aerospace medicine; therefore US CME is now transferrable to UK.

Certificates form past years and current year read by Secretary
Dr. Alves reported on Ralph Finnell Memorial stipend

Three things to consider



  1. Although Ralph worked for United Airlines, he supported all airlines – Paulo suggests that United be asked to support this stipend or award to attend

  2. Person receiving the award or stipend should contribute something – such as a presentation

  3. need to engage the other associations as well to help recruit potential recipients

Executive council will like to have members express ideas

Dr. Millett: entertained new topic:

Dr. Hudson – would like to report on the behalf of AsMA nominating committee; there was a face to face meeting in Orlando and 3 types of conferences leading to the meeting; he stated that phone calls into these meetings from the UK were were problematic – and that there are many names on the nomination slate that are unknown to him so he cannot express his opinion – is it easier for a US based person to make the representation rather than someone form UK? It was commented that there really should be a European representative.
Dr. Millett supported the idea that we in AMDA should become more active in the nominating process of AsMA – he will volunteer in this regard
Dr. Millett’s farewell remarks – it has been a pleasure to have served; he did not expect this honor but enjoyed serving.
Dr. Bob Orford took over as new President of AsMA. He stated that the Program Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary did an excellent job. He has spoken with the Secretary about the work load to support administrative tasks, such as improving the website and supporting other specific administrative work. He also committed himself to review our Bylaws this year.
Dr. Orford also mentioned we willhave a splendid dinner this evening, andis looking forward to dinner venues for next year’s meeting in Denver. Dr. Millett suggested Western Museum of Aviation and to have dinner under the airplanes.
