141st
Meeting of the ASA
Chicago, Illinois
Tuesday, June 5, 2001
Present were: Sandy
Poliachik, Jennifer Elias, Jennifer Munro (for Lisa Zurk), Donna
Neff, Brigitte Schulte-Fortkamp, Martha Larson, Alex Tolstoy, Nancy
Timmerman, Mardi Hastings, Peggy Nelson, Ellen Livingston, Mary
Florentine, and Zoi-Heleni Michalopoulou.
Minutes of the Newport
Beach meeting were approved.
Co-chair of the committee,
Zoi-Heleni Michalopoulou, announced that she resigns from co-chair,
effective the end of the meeting; members of the committee were
asked for nominations for the position.
The names of the
awardees for the Young Investigator Travel Grant were announced.
All applications were exceptional and the selection process was
very difficult. Zoi-Heleni Michalopoulou and Peggy Nelson will coordinate
the Young Investigator Awards for the next meeting. Peggy Nelson
and Ellen Livingston will coordinate the awards for the Spring 2002
meeting.
The cost of the Women
in Acoustics Luncheon was discussed. The luncheon has become very
successful and is very well attended. It is an essential function
for women to network and meet other members. Unfortunately, the
current budget cannot cover the expenses of two luncheons per year.
It was proposed and approved that attendees of the luncheon pay
$10 (except for students). This should be printed in the registration
form starting with the Fort Lauderdale meeting.
The committee has
been approached by colleagues with questions regarding Women in
Acoustics activities in the Cancun meeting. Suggestions were made
for inviting a distinguished lecturer; the lecture could be followed
by the luncheon.
Ellen Livingston
and Alex Tolstoy made announcements on the progress of our web site.
The site includes statistics on membership, links of interest, and
networking and mentoring information.
Other discussion
followed with ideas on future activities. Interaction with schools
in the locations of the meetings was mentioned as a potential activity.
Respectfully submitted,
Zoi-Heleni Michalopoulou
