Announcements

• The President thanked the Nominations Committee for the slate of officers they presented to the Chapter for elections. He also reminded the Chapter members to submit other nominations for national HPS offices that are open.
• The 2000 Fall Meeting in Chanhassen, MN was awarded 4.0 continuing education credits, course #2000-10-006.
• The Fall Meeting for 2001 will be hosted by the Veteran's Administration (VA) Hospital in Minneapolis, MN. John Frazier, the HPS President-Elect, will be our guest. Meeting date is to be determined.

Old Business

• The NCC Science and Education Committee has no science teacher award candidate selection this spring. The Science and Education Committee will continue to search and plans to make the award at the Fall Meeting, which is in better time sequence for national HPS nominations. The two former candidates will be included in this next round of consideration.
• The Team Approach meeting sponsored by the MN Safety Council was discussed. It was voted upon and approved by the Executive Council that the NCC will be a meeting sponsor this year and offer names for speakers on health physics to be the keynote speaker. A membership fee of $200 was allocated.
• The Records Retention Subcommittee meeting results were presented. A plan for deposition of the Chapter records with the national HPS repository at the U of TN was adopted. Officers will work to sort and assemble records for transfer after the fall meeting for archiving. Every fall from now on the immediate Past-President will be responsible for shipping documents to the archive from the previous year. Officers' duties will be amended to include record retention responsibilities.
• Officers' duties are now posted on the Chapter Website and will be kept updated.
• The NCCHPS logo update plan was set in motion by requesting updated logos to be submitted to Jan Braun electronically by the deadline of 9/14/01 for consideration at the fall meeting. All work must be original with no copyrighted material or clip-art.

New Business

The proceedings of the Executive Council meeting of 4/19/01 were reviewed including:

• It was determined which Chapter members could attend the Chapter Council meeting in Cleveland this summer. They will bring copies of our officers' duties.
• The Website Vision that the Executive Council adopted was summarized as:
• The Customers are the NCCHPS members and prospective members.
• All paper should become electronic communications.
• Electronic balloting is a future desire.
• Dues notices and meeting registration will become electronic.
• Any members who do not have access to e-mail will continue to receive all materials as paper copies.
• We may hire a website specialist for a one-time improvement of our site.
• Paper copies will be made for archiving of records.
• The Wissink Memorial Lecture Series was introduced as being the invited speaker at the Fall Meeting in honor of the Chapter Award Recipient. This speaker will be considered as the Wissink Memorial Lecturer.
• A small gift to speakers and vendors will be presented at each meeting from now on. The President-Elect and/or local arrangements coordinator will decide what to give. It is desired that it reflect either the state or the location of the meeting.

• Executive Councilor Dan McGrane will write the meeting summary for this meeting to go to the HPS Newsletter and to be posted on our website and published in our NCC Newsletter. Digital photographs will be added to the meeting summary on the website.
• Council member Trent Mays has resigned due to relocation. It was decided not to replace him as new Council members take office at the next meeting.
• It was requested that people attend or participate in the Science Teacher Workshop and Public Education Committee presentations at the National HPS meeting as possible and bring ideas back to the Chapter for our use.
• The Science and Education Committee (formerly Science Teacher Award Committee) will now be chaired by Dan McGrane at least until the Fall Meeting. The Committee was charged with contacting Mr. Steve Schultz, former Award recipient, and requesting his help in locating nominees for the Award. It was also requested that Mr. Schultz be asked to help identify regional science teacher meetings or conventions in our five state area and suggest how we might contribute with a booth, workshop, or presentation. Additional members interested in the Committee were Mike Lewandowski, Marcus Martz and Jan Braun. Current members are Dan McGrane, Irene Patrek, Cynthia Horn, Kermit Paulson, and Doug Gossen.
