•

Ask the Program Committee to accumulate all of the proposed symposia and host a Webinar type meeting in October 2010 to update all PDG chairs and vice chairs. This will allow for the PDG chairs to also possibly adjust their recommendations to the Program Committee and potentially combine topics with other PDGs.

•

The IAFP Board should consider allocating a set amount of session time for PDGs to develop appropriate symposia recommendations. a. The PDG also will consider just limiting the number of symposia at the start. Maybe just allocate 10% over what has been accepted historically. b. We should rank and then recommend to the Program Committee. c. There is the issue of independent symposium recommendations outside of a PDG. d. Therefore this provides for potentially more overlap. e. The Board should provide a complete list to the PDG chairs and vice chairs prior to the Webinar to facilitate the meeting discussion. f. IAFP should provide a list of historical topics and date of symposia with abstract before the end of August and send to the PDG members to improve recommendations for 2011. Approve Patricia Wester as Vice Chair beginning at IAFP 2011.

• • •

other New business: • PDG member requests for the next meeting in the way of speakers/topics. • Everyone likes the current agenda format for open discussion. • Consider some controversial speakers would be helpful to stimulate discussion. • Have the Board issues discussed at the business meeting to not encroach on 2-hour PDG meeting time. • Ask IAFP for table microphones for size of meeting as well as projector. • Hot topics for discussion? Next Meeting Date: Sunday, July 31, 2011, Frontier Airlines Center, Milwaukee, WI. Meeting adjourned: 11:03 a.m. Chairperson: Craig W. Henry.
