Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting:
Attendees: Fitz Booker, Steve Britz, Kent Burkey, Art Chappelka, Boris Chevone, Al Heagle, Pat Logan, Margaret McGrath, Joe Miller, Robert Miller, Charles Mulchi, Eva Pell, Mike Robinson, Nina Shishkoff, Judith SinnThe meeting was called to order at 1:00 pm. The major purpose of this meeting was to discuss the publication of the 5 year report (1991-1995), and to outline the next five years of research (1996-2000).
Mike Robinson opened the meeting with the election of the new secretary and chair-elect. Dr. Art Chappelka, Auburn University was elected as chair for the 1997 meeting.
In the announcements Mike mentioned that Jack Barnes was not coming to the meeting due to surgery. Good luck Jack, and hope to see you at next year's meeting.
Bob Miller announced that he is stepping down immediately as Administrative Advisor to the NE- 1 76 group. Dr. Pat Logan, Director Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station will be Bob's replacement. The group thanked Bob for all of his support and welcomed Pat to the group.
Bob Miller mentioned that the President's 1997 budget calls for an increase in NRI funding, but don't spend the money just yet. Bob mentioned that one thing that would help the group is self-marketing. This led to much discussion. Two ideas discussed were a home-page on the Internet and a brief mission statement that could be forwarded to EPA (or other organizations) and congressional leaders. If anyone has any other ideas regarding this please write them down and send to the committee chair.
Charles Mulchi reported on the progress of the NE-176 five-year report (1991-1995). The Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station will publish it. He needs laboratory or individual reports no later than July 1, 1996. Please contact him if you have any questions. New members are welcome to submit any material that they feel may be relevant to the program.
Eva Pell mentioned that Joanne Rebbeck, USDA Forest Service, Delaware, Ohio and Keith Davis, Ohio State University asked to join the group. They were accepted with little discussion, and Pat Logan will send out a letter of invitation, with some forms to be filled out.
Brief individual reports were heard from Charles Mulchi, Margaret McGrath, Boris Chevone, Art Chappelka, Eva Pell, Steve Britz, Joe Miller, Fitz Booker and Al Heagle.
Boris presented a report regarding Sagar Krupa's work and Art presented Richard Flagler's report. They were both unable to attend but did send brief work statements. In addition, Kent Burkey has joined Joe Miller's group and will be working on some NE- 176-related projects in the future. Welcome aboard Kent.
Collaborative research projects were discussed and it was determined that the group has at least four on-going or proposed collaborative efforts among two or more members of the committee. If each member would send those to the chair, it will be included in the next progress report.
The next meeting was tentatively scheduled for Monday and Tuesday January 6-7, 1997 in Beltsville, MD (snow permitting). Stay tuned for more details regarding the meeting, but put those dates down on your calendar.
The address list of the members is included. It is requested that if you could put home phone #'s on it, just in case of emergency (e.g. snow) so we can get in touch with each other rapidly. Also if you have an E-mail listing please put it down. If these can be returned to the Chair they will be updated and distributed to each member. Meeting adjourned at 5:00 pm.
