	FDI Names New Executive Director
	Past Director Per Ake Zillen retired the first of the year due to poor health. His Assistant Director, Johan (J. T.) Barnard of South Africa stepped in as Acting Executive Director to keep the FDI programs running smoothly. After nearly a year of searching for an appropriate replacement, the FDI has announced that J. T. Barnard has been appointed by the FDI Council as the new Executive Director. J. T. earned his dental degree from the University of Pretoria in 1975 as well as his BchD (1983) and Mdent (1989) there as well. He earned Certificates in Senior Management and Strategic Management from the University of Stellenbosch. He had a private practice in the United Kingdom followed by service in the South Africa National Defence Force, where he retired as Brigadier General. In 1996, he was appointed Executive Director for the South African Dental Association. He was appointed Associate Director for FDI in 2000. He is a Fellow in ADI and ICD. Past PFA President David Campbell and Editor Brophy had several delightful discussions with J. T. while attending the Paris FDI Meeting. He is a knowledgeable replacement for the dedicated Per Ake Zillen. With the opening of the new FDI Headquarters in Ferney-Voltaire last June by FDI President Dato Dr. Ratnanesan of Malaysia, FDI will be taking on an new look.

The Academy has requested $50,000 for the following programs: • 02-122 — The PFA Web site for $20,000 • 02-123 — The PFA Dental Museum for $15,000 • 02-124 — The WEPE project (withdrawn) • 02-125 — The new PFA brochure for $15,000. The Academy Board approved funding last year of $5000 for the WEPE Mentorship Project was not used since the program would not begin until 2004 and the application to the Foundation for support from Belgium Chair Jose Dahan needed more tweaking to comply with Foundation standards. Student scholarships for $1500 to 81 dental students around the world was budgeted at $121,500 if all the schools accept and respond. Inflation reserve was established at $23,000 to cover the down trend in the investments. And the annual forever funding of the $7500 to the Costa Rica PFA for the Loader-Espinach Award is set aside every year, but presented ($15,000) only every other year at a continuing education convocation in Costa Rica. Foundation expenses are estimated at $100,000 to cover the Board’s travel, lodging, and maintaining the Foundation office. This totals out the Foundation possible costs at $448,604 for 2002. Their budget for the New Orleans Meeting is $406,000 so there will need to be some hard choices made by the Board.
