  1. Accounts have been consolidated somewhat. 

A separate accounting of the Reserve Fund will

be maintained until an investment strategy is in place.

We will use the money received from the BMS grant and

the CD account when available to begin this fund

(approx.$34,000).

Other Discussion Points:

  • Membership will explore updating the AACP registration Brochure. 
  • Evidence Based Practices Position Statement is being finalized.  Although there has been a motion to accept the document, there has been no second, and several members have noted that there needs to be some final editing before bringing it to a vote.
  • Plans for the joint membership arrangement with Orthopsychiatry have not made any progress.  Ortho now has a new president.
  •  There will be several openings for committee leadership in the coming year.  Quality, Scholarship, Clinical Services will all need new Chairs.
  • The format for the BOD meeting in March was discussed. Attempts will be made to build in more time for free discussion.  There will be some time reserved to consider what further work needs to be done on the Strategic Plan.
