PROPOSED BYLAWS AMENDMENTS - TOP

At its October 2003 meeting, the Board of Directors approved several amendments to the SAMBA Bylaws as presented by the Committee on Bylaws. The proposed amendments include the following: (1) creation of an Operations Primer that would serve as a manual for officers and committee chairs; (2) establishment of certain committees as standing committees of the Society; (3) assignment of the Chair of the Committee on Development as a standing member of the Committee on Annual Meeting. The amendments are presented here in accordance with the procedures to amend the Society’s Bylaws, stating that proposed amendments must be distributed to every member of the Society at least two weeks prior to the SAMBA Annual Membership Meeting to be held on May 2, 2004, in Seattle, Washington. At the meeting, the proposed amendments will be presented a second time, followed by a vote. A two-third affirmative vote of the active members present and voting is necessary for the proposed amendments to become effective. The proposed amendments may be viewed here.

 

MEET THE COMMITTEE: COMMITTEE ON ANNUAL MEETING - TOP

The SAMBA Committee on Annual Meeting is responsible for preparing an annual meeting, which is a clinical meeting designed for the education of professionals interested in the field of ambulatory anesthesia.  The committee plans the time, place, and structure of the meeting, and determines the specific time and space allotments for the various aspects of the meeting (such as lectures, workshops, poster presentations, scientific exhibits), based on their relative educational value.  It also oversees all the technical aspects of the annual educational meeting, including the timely preparation and distribution of brochures, site visits, coordination of facilities and transportation related to the meeting, and providing appropriate CME credits to the members in attendance.

The committee has planned an exceptional meeting for 2004! It will have the theme "Expanding the Horizon in Ambulatory Anesthesia", and be held at the Seattle Westin from April 30 - May 2, 2004.   You won't want to miss it!  Check out the complete program today on the SAMBA Web site.  On-line registration is also now available.
