Executive Board Meeting continued..
Foundation

Foundation President Carl Lundgren sent in his report about the history of the Foundation, the investments they have made to insure their ability to issue grants and scholarships, its successes through the years, and information about their 3 April 2004 Interim Meeting in Chicago.

President Kevin Roach, Vice President Howard Mark, and Editor James Brophy will be attending the April Foundation Interim Board Meeting in Chicago.


Membership

For the last quarter of 2003, 139 new Fellows were processed into the Academy. For the first quarter of 2004, 83 new Fellows are awaiting processing.


Archive Report

Archivist James Brophy reported attempting to centralize all the various publications that the Academy offers to its members. Currently, we are trying to get back copies of the stored book by Drs. Loader and Kishi, Legacy. An itemization of the materials already on hand, including the Dental World source material that goes into making up the copy of the issues, which dates back to 1989, was listed. The Board was asked to determine how long those materials should be stored. The Executive Committee agreed seven years was enough time. Those materials up to 1996 might be discarded except for the photographs, which could be used in future issues.

Editor’s Report

Editor James Brophy noted that sending hard copies of Dental World to all dental libraries has been dropped as a cost-cutting measure. The libraries have been suggested to pick up and download current issues and back issues from our Web site.

This also gets the librarians familiar with our online services.
International Hall of Fame Committee

Chair H. Raymond Klein submitted a report that he has made arrangements to present the Hall of Fame Plaque for Dr. Frederick S. McKay at the Colorado Dental Association’s annual meeting in Vail, Colorado, on June 11 at their Annual Awards Luncheon.

The Induction of Dr. Terence Ward is tentatively scheduled for summer of 2005.

The four remaining nominees have had their resumes sent to the other Committee members for approval and presentation at the Fall PFA Board Meeting. Those remaining nominees, yet to be approved, are: Drs. Morinosuke Chiwaki of Japan, Rafiuddin Ahmed of India, Maynard K. Hine and Edward H. Angle—both of the United States.

Nomination of
2004-2005 Officers

Chairman Gary Lowder’s Committee placed in nomination the following members for office:
• Michael Perpich for President
• Howard Mark for President-elect
• William Winspear for Vice-President
• Kevin Roach for Immediate past President (which is automatic)

Awards Committee

Chairman James Englander’s Committee has approved Honorary Fellowship for Dr. Brian James Henderson (which was presented to him at the Canadian Dental Association Meeting in Vancouver).

They also approved the President’s Award for retiring Foundation Treasurer George Higue (a past PFA President and recipient of the Gold Medal).

The Committee approved of presenting (posthumously) the PFA Certificate of Merit to Spain’s Section Chair Professor Javier Barro.

The Dental Trade & Industry Award of Recognition has suggested Chairman Arthur Zwingenberger of SciCan Corp. Since the Award’s inception in 1994, nine companies have received it. They are J. Morita Corp (1994); Durr Dental GMBH & Co. (1995); Roemmers Pharmaceuticals (1996); Den-Mat Corp (1997); Kerr Corp (1998); 3M Company (1999), Ultradent Products, Inc. (2000); Degussa Dental (2002); and Patterson Dental Supply Company (2003).

The Committee’s suggestion concerning some recognition for the late past PFA President Shig Kishi was to place an Honor Plaque at his alma mater USC. This will be open to discussion at the Fall PFA Board Meeting.

Dr. Englander thanked his Committee of Drs. Nick Saccone, Pierre Marois, Barry Dolman, Bernardo Levit, Frank Braun, and Ray Maddox for their assistance.

The former Gold Medal recipients participate in the nomination process. Two have passed away recently. They have provided suggested nominations for 2004.

The Executive Committee suggested a “bank” of nominations be kept from year to year to provide a wide range of possible recommendations to the PFA Board for both the Elmer S. Best Award and for the Gold Medal Award.
 Section Chair Caucus

The Executive Committee reaffirmed the ongoing importance of the Section Chair Caucus input to the International Board. The next Caucus has been scheduled for the Orlando Meeting this Fall.

The Executive Committee discussed the wish of the Chairs to collect their Section dues at the same time the International dues notices are mailed out. Due to the various amounts of each Section’s dues, this was demonstrated not to be cost effective as well as difficult to register by Section without special computer programs developed. The Executive Board suggested a $10 dues increase, which would be kept by the Central Office for tendering to the working Sections upon receipts of program costs. Since notices have already been sent out for 2004, this plan will take effect in 2005. The suggestion was passed on a motion by Howard Mark, seconded by Mike Perpich. This would also only apply to full dues–paying Sections. Further parameters need to be defined to bring this idea into operation so that (1) working Sections receive their share, and (2) non-full dues–paying Sections are not included. President Roach has requested that Georgia Section Chair Karyn Stockwell present her Section’s program as an excellent example for discussion at the Section Chair Caucus.

Mark Stanley has replied to the request of the Section Chairs to provide them a CD-ROM version of the presentation he had given the officers and the Caucus to have available for demonstrations at their own meetings.

President-elect’s Report

Dr. Michael Perpich has reviewed the 2003 financial report and has been working on the 2005 budget. The quarterly conference call meetings to review the 2004 budget have helped to keep the Academy on track for the year and to monitor expenses.


Trustees Reports

Trustee Richard Walsh of Region 2 (Northeast United States) reported that he has sent a letter of introduction to all his area’s Section Chairs and has attended the Massachusetts Breakfast at the Yankee Dental Congress on January 29, where Dr. Arthur Schwartz was presented their Outstanding Service Award. He has also plans to attend the Maryland PFA Meeting on March 3 and the Connecticut/New Hampshire/New York Meeting held in conjunction with the Charter Oak Dental Meeting on May 15.

Trustee Mamoru Sakuda of Region 9 (Asia) distributed reports to all his area’s Chairs about the PFA and the business at the annual meeting last Fall. He reported on their annual meeting held on January 24 in Nagoya. Trustee Sakuda made particular note of the Philippine Outreach Program under Chair Diampo Lim, sponsored by past 2002 Elmer Best recipient Dr. Rufino Achacoso, which works in the Poon Bato Resettlement Area of Batolan, Zambales to extend dental education services for the depressed native inhabitants.

 Long-Range Planning Committee

Chair Howard Mark has submitted an update to his original outstanding work for guiding PFA through this century. Particularly discussed were the provisions to increase Fellowship, not only by nomination but though preventing lapsation and increasing retention. Mentorship, publicity, communications, a transparent budget plan, and regular reporting were discussed as well. Dr. Mark noted that the concept of such a plan is to constantly update and reevaluate its principles. New tools and different perspectives will need to be considered to keep the plan current. The assistance of the Foundation is vital to implementing the concepts and visions the Academy wishes to foster. Because of his depth of involvement in this project, President Roach appointed Dr. Mark chair of the committee.

Such ideas as a Section newsletter to keep the membership informed and up-to-date was suggested along with Regional workshops. The operation needs to function from the top down through the Regional Trustees to the Section Chairs, with their comments being relayed back up the chain.
Old Business

The Academy Policy Manual is the next item on the agenda to update and add all the past policies. The rough draft of 31 October 2003 was reviewed for corrections.

The Policy Manual for the Foundation was included in the meeting agenda packet for review. Included was an officer flow chart.

New Business

Orlando Annual Meeting

The Annual PFA Board Meeting will be held 1-3 October 2004 in conjunction with the 145th annual ADA Session in Orlando, Florida.

University of the Pacific School of Dentistry

This first chartered university in California—152 years ago—will be hosting a weekend of festivities on 27-28 August 2004 to celebrate Arthur A. Dugoni, PFA Fellow and Dean of the School of Dentistry for 52 years, by naming the dental school after him. Since this is a momentous occasion for one of our members, the Executive Board has suggested that Trustee Charles Eller attend on behalf of President Roach to represent PFA at the ceremonies.

 Academy Officer Succession

Discussion ensued about developing a succession plan for the Secretary General and, in fact, all officers, to prepare a replacement officer, even temporarily, in the event of such an incident occurs as that of the passing of Foundation Executive Director Shig Kishi. This would be to insure that their positions do not leave the organization devoid of continued function. Legal documents that would permit the Academy to secure the records from such a deceased officer’s files and home were to be drawn up and signed so as to preclude any impairment of securing Academy documents as quickly as possible from the family of the deceased officer.

Announcements

In addition to the reminders about the Orlando Annual PFA Board Meeting, it was noted that the FDI Congress will be held 10-13 September 2004 in New Delhi, India. In 2005, the FDI Congress will be held in August in Montreal, and the ADA Annual Session will be in October in Philadelphia.

With all business being concluded, the Executive Board Meeting was adjourned.

L-R, Vice-President Howard Mark, President-elect Mike Perpich, Senator Ray Rawson, President Kevin Roach, past President Gary Lowder
