IV. SCMA-YPS Delegate Report
Dr. Congdon reported that he attended the AMA/YPS meeting last June and it was great. Delegates received the resolutions about a month prior to the meeting so they were familiar with the issues being presented. The group approached each resolution being presented and gave a “yea” or “nay” vote. In November, he attended the Interim Meeting in Dallas which also ran very smoothly. His report is on the website.
Dr. Congdon encouraged everyone to check it out his website to read more details about the meetings. The website can be found at http://journal.aol.com/congdoc/SCMAYPS. This site is also linked to the SCMA’s website. Since he had 500 hits to the AOL site he is going to go to GoDaddy.com and to scmayps.com have our own website and he will be the webmaster. He will ask the SCMA for funding for the website.
