Every February WASFAA likes to break up the long winter with an exciting Executive Committee meeting. We held a meeting on February 27, 2009 at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
The WASFAA Executive Committee is composed of elected officials and committee chairs. The committee at the winter meeting as has its primary responsibility the establishment of a budget for the upcoming year. It was a long and thoughtful process. The economic realities all around us had to be reflected in the budget. The new budget will be presented to the entire membership at the spring conference in Madison this April. Along with the budget, WASFAA committees report on their activities and other topics are discussed and voted on. This meeting was especially lively. Hot topics included the "late fee policy", associate member concerns, elections, and a new WASFAA logo. If intensity of discussion can be used as an indicator of the health of our organization we are not in need of the services of any of the Medical Colleges graduates. Much was accomplished.

How could I have a meeting without visiting the FA office? Here are some pictures from my visit.
