President's Annual Report
2001-2002

Objectives:

Evaluate web site to determine if it is being fully utilized.
Evaluate current notification of members to determine if email can replace any of the U.S. Postal Service mailings for announcements, notices, etc.
Work with Wayne State University members to facilitate programs for CE credits.

Accomplishments:

Per consensus of the general membership, support only the online version of the directory on the website.
Determined that email notification for all meetings, voting, etc. is not an option at this time. Although it could save money for the organization, problems with email and voting procedures would prohibit this change.
Worked with Wayne State University to provide three free National Library of Medicine continuing education classes in lieu of the canceled CAM-ERA conference.
Cosponsored with Swets-Blackwell a four hour continuing education course, "Virtual Collection Development", and luncheon at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn on March 6, 2002.
Received approval for updating the bylaws to:
-expand the membership categories
-change the terms of committee members and restrictions placed on committee chairs.

Respectfully submitted,

Audrey Bondar
