Financial Status Each year prior to the Annual Session, ADEA compiles a list of all corporations, organizations, and foundations that support ADEA activities and programs for publication in the House of Delegates Manual. This compilation is the basis for honoring these sponsors at the Annual Session. This information related to section activities is gathered from your section annual report. If the section receives no external financial support, note “N/A.” Include the following information: -2- A. Current Section Balance: Existing balance is committed to covering travel expenses for foreign speaker at 2008 ADEA annual session. B. Organizations (and contact persons) providing financial support for section activities C. Purpose of the support (program, reception, newsletter, etc.), number of participants and recipients, and other details D. The type of funding: donation or gifts-in-kind, and amount of funding. VII. Meeting Minutes (copy/paste Word document into the field) Minutes Annual Business Meeting. ADEA Section on Oral Biology (March 2008) Present: Dr. Anthony M. Iacopino (University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry, Winnipeg), Dr. Andrew I. Spielman (NYU), Dr. Mark Wolff (NYU), Dr. Ken Etzel (Pitt), Dr. Alan Otsuka (SIU), Dr. Douglas Young (U Pacific), and Dr. Jack Windsor were present for the meeting. The meeting came to order and those who attended the Council of Sections (COS) meeting informed those present of the following: Membership for ADEA as a whole and for the OB section is up. Nevertheless, the free membership allowed many members to join multiple sections. This does not translate in members attending any of the business meetings, or contributing to the life of the section. Section members need to advertise the availability of a number of awards for both faculty and students sponsored by corporate partners of ADEA. Unless we have applicants for them, they will go unclaimed and sponsorship may be jeopardized. The meeting centered on a number of subjects: 1. Election of section officers (requirements that officers not represent two sections resulted in a total re-election of officers for the section since the current chairelect and secretary are serving as officers on other sections). 2. How to increase awareness of the OB section. 3. How to bring value to section members (i.e., provide symposia that are interesting). 4. Co-sponsorship of a symposium with other sections (Dr. Spielman will initiate the planning of this symposium). VIII. Additional Comments or Suggestions to the Administrative Board Provide feedback to the COS Admin Board about section concerns, comments, or suggestions. More thought needs to be given to scheduling of section business meetings that would encourage a larger attendance. -3-
