attending was Rhonda Green, Meeting Manager.
1. Agenda additions and changes-
Carol announced some minor changes. Hedberg and Westra added items to
research committee. Stephenson added item to Director of Education, Kells
added item to History report.
2. Summer board meeting date- Meeting
will be July 24 and 25 in Honolulu. Will include strategic plan discussion.
Green confirmed hotel meeting for July 23-25. Meeting will begin morning of
July 24.
3. W2 Local Arrangements Committee-
Review of 2004 meeting- Several Board members reported on their observations
and comments received from members during the meeting. Observations and
comments included: projection screens were too low in some rooms, screen
size was too small for larger meeting rooms, audio/visual people need to be
available at all times, some rooms did not have enough chairs available,
need to include who chair-elect are for different sections in program, make
sure metric system is used by all presenters and trade names not be used in
presentations, a request to have weed names included in the program index,
problem with a cable resulting in loss of signal between computer and
projector, and spouses room needed.
2005 Meeting- discussed next year's meeting.
It was reported that meeting rooms in Honolulu will be larger area.
Mallory-Smith wants to have more symposia
and fewer papers with afternoons for discussion sessions. Feedback from the
Board followed. Shaner: some people do not want to abandon 15 min talks.
Jackson: some like the idea of grouping papers together followed by time for
discussions. This could be way of getting more discussions. MacDonald: will
this cause problems for people wanting to give papers? Mallory-Smith:
moderator could receive request for papers and decide if it will be an oral
presentation or poster. This is done at IWSS meeting. Shaner: received
comments on proceedings on CD. Some did not like it at all. Is there way to
make a hard copy available? Foley: may be some avenue to have a hard copy
available. Need to give people opportunity to print off hard copy ahead of
time either by getting CD out before the meeting or posting the proceedings
on the Internet. Shaner: drawback is having to compress time to get this
done before the meeting. How difficult is to post the proceedings? Hamill:
there are probably a wide range of people who like the CD or hard copy.
Foley: it would be cost prohibitive to provide both. Lancaster: part of work
involved is editing abstracts and numbering abstracts. Cost should not be
too high. Mallory-Smith: before we change submission date, need to talk to
Donn Thill and Robert Kremer about this.
Note: Derr proposed changing abstract
submission date from September 10 to October 10 at the February 8-9 Board
meeting. Decision was delayed to this meeting.
Further discussion of program format- people
generally like idea of having longer papers with discussion. Drawback is not
having times for graduate students to present papers. Murphy: SWSS is going
to longer times (20-30 minutes) followed by discussion. Smeda: section chair
will be responsible to mesh the talks to match up with 15 minute
presentations. How many papers will we lose by going from 15 to 20 minutes?
Morishita: why can't we have 15 minute papers with discussion? Why do they
have to be 20 or 30 minutes for discussion? Stephenson: at other meetings
poster presentations can also be presented as short oral presentations. The
section chairs review submitted posters then select some to be in a
discussion. Posters of same topic are placed in a smaller room with chairs
for discussion. Green: one drawback is that commercial posters are left out.
Hamill: currently, posters are placed in sections of topics to have all the
biocontrol in one area. MacDonald: suggest Carol make up a format and send
it out to the program committee. Murphy: HI meeting will likely be bigger,
thus we need to keep in mind the increase in attendees. Gray: thinks
graduate students generally prefer to give oral presentations than poster.
Dewey: likes having 15 minute presentations because of the diversity in
topics presented.
4. F2 Finance Committee- (Smeda)
Cash account management.
Jim Ballinger, AG Edwards, presented finance information to the committee.
Currently, Ballinger thinks more money is held in liquid assets or cash than
is necessary. He suggests keeping about $80k in cash account. The Finance
Committee recommended that WSSA have $80k in cash account and keep other
funds in short-term investments that are accessible if needed.
Jackson moved and Shaner seconded motion
to reduce cash balance in our general fund to $80k. Discussion- funds
would be split between fixed income bonds and equities, or WSSA can
recommend to AG Edwards how money is to be invested. Smeda: suggested
putting it in different short-term (1 to 2 year bonds) to make sure the
money is accessible. Bonds could be GNMAs (Ginnie Maes). Ballinger has
guidelines from WSSA that he follows. Motion carried.
General fund asset diversification.
Ballinger felt we need to diversify assets in our general fund. Much of this
money is invested in individual stocks. Recommends we decrease our risk by
investing in mutual funds, in addition to individual stocks. WSSA guidelines
allow him to do this, but he wanted WSSA input. Drawback to this is paying
an additional fee for managing the mutual fund. Jachetta: if we invest in
mutual funds, why do we need Ballinger? Hedberg: if we allow Ballinger to do
this, we should establish some boundaries or guidelines for how much we are
willing to pay in commission fees. Hamill: we should put trust in Jim
Ballinger and allow him to have the freedom to make these decisions for the
WSSA.
Graduate Student support for IWSS meeting.
The Executive Committee gave permission to give $10k to IWSS for supporting
graduate student attendance to the 2005 meeting. Finance Committee felt that
EC did not follow the correct procedure and should have consulted or
informed the Finance Committee. Derr: has the entire Board approved the
contribution of the money? Feels entire board should be able to decide on
this rather than just the EC. Hamill: recognized this issue and expressed
his appreciation for Derr's comments. Also, suggested that the minutes from
the conference call should be sent to Board ASAP after the call.
Budget draft for 2004. Finance
Committee was presented with information from previous year. Committee
reviewed budget requests for 2004. Calendar committee requested $6k. $4k was
previous year request. The calendar has not made any money for the WSSA.
Finance Committee is recommending not granting budget request for the
calendar. Hedberg: has used the calendar to hand out in Washington, D.C. It
is a good way to keep the WSSA in front of people. MacDonald: felt that the
calendar is useful and although we have lost money on this, its value in
keeping the WSSA name in front of people is worth the cost. Jackson: sees
this as a potential marketing tool. We could give one to every US
legislator. Smeda: if this is the case, the calendar needs to be out before
February. Jachetta: should we have 500 copies that will be given away and
not sold? Hamill: felt that calendars could be considered as a promotional
item and to think of this as an investment.
Jackson moved and Westra seconded motion
to continue publishing the calendar and make it available in September as
requested by the Calendar committee. Discussion- Smeda: how many should
we publish? Derr: another way to invest this money is to put together a
brochure or fact sheet of key invasive weeds. Thinks this will be better to
promote invasive weed awareness. Hedberg: can get fact sheets from many
different states. Thinks a calendar will be more visible. Kells: calendar
was created for our own members. If we are using it for promotion, need to
customize it for the purpose of bringing awareness of weeds. Dewey: is there
another design or format of calendar rather than a hanging calendar that
could be used, such as a poster or something else. Foley: should we write
the entire cost off and make the calendars available to give away to key
people? Motion carried. Two opposed.
Undergraduate Research Award funding.
Finance Committee expressed concern that Undergraduate Research Award is
underfunded. Historically, funds for this award has come from the Endowment
Fund. Finance Committee requests finding a more stable way of providing
funds annually for this. Smeda and Ballinger looked into possibility of
putting interest from funds accrued in better years in a place for use in
lean years. This would create a more stable funding mechanism for the URA.
Mallory-Smith: the Endowment Fund was changed to do this several years ago.
Smeda: Ballinger has been putting cash left in the money market account into
bonds. Once this goes into bonds, it becomes the principal, which cannot be
touched. Currently, 8% of money in Endowment Fund is available as cash. As
of February 2, 2004, the Endowment Fund has over $200k.
F3 Endowment Committee- (Smeda) This
committee requests that WSSA continue contributing to the Intel Science
Fair. Finance Committee recommends that WSSA not continue funding the ISF,
and that the money should be used for the URA, and that extra money be
placed in savings that could be accessible in lean years.
Kells moved and Jackson seconded motion
to continue supporting the Intel Science Fair. Discussion: Derr: what is
the benefit of continued support? Kells: HS students learn that there is a
weed science discipline and sees an indirect benefit, but does not think
there is a way to see a direct benefit. Motion carried.
Endowment Fund requests $4k be made
available to print brochures for contributing to the WSSA. Finance Committee
recommended not doing that. The Board
recommended against it.
If graduate students come forward with a
funding request, should funds be made available? Finance Committee suggests
that graduate student association be able to use funds for developing
programs for graduate students. Finance Committee recommends not provide
funds to graduate students for discounted meeting attendance, but give them
the opportunity to apply for symposia funds.
Smeda moved and Foley seconded motion to
go into Executive session. Motion carried.
Murphy moved and Hamill seconded motion
to end Executive Session. Motion carried.
Flora ID Northwest request- Board
discussed tabled motion regarding the agreement with Flora ID Northwest.
Lancaster explained AM&M cost to handle and market the CD would be $3 per
CD. WSSA would still receive 25% of derived revenue.
Note: During discussion of Flora ID
Northwest contract, Majek moved and Westra seconded motion to sign
agreement. Smeda moved and Mallory-Smith seconded motion to table the
discussion until Friday Board meeting.
Foley moved and Westra seconded motion
to untable the motion. Motion carried.
Motion presented by Majek and seconded by
Westra to sign agreement failed.
Foley moved and Westra seconded a motion
to authorize President Thill to negotiate and enter into a contract with
Flora ID Northwest for the WSSA. Motion carried.
Foley moved and Becker seconded motion to
accept the 2004 draft budget as presented to the Board. Motion carried.
Meeting recessed at 11:00 am and reconvened
at 11:15 am.
5. F5 Sustaining Membership Committee-
no new report
6. Web Site Committee (new)- (Stepehenson)
Shawn Askew is new chair and will request to be replaced as the Calendar
Committee Chair. Other committee members are: Steve Dewey, Anita Dille,
Gerry Stephenson (ex. off.), Anthony DiTommaso, Larry Lass (ex. off), Roger
Becker, and David Pike (ex. off). Discussed needed changes to WSSA web site
and methods to achieve those changes. Currently developing an email survey
to address immediate changes to make web site more user friendly. Also
designing infrastructure for information exchange and methods to retrieve
information from various sources within the Society.
7. W5 Education Committee-
(Stephenson) Tony DiTomasso will have a meeting in March. Will provide grant
proposal for interactive education for students. Stephenson: Director of
Education position needs more definition. Has attended committee meetings
and roundtable discussion. Can serve as liaison to educational activities.
Cannot attend 2005 meeting because of scheduling conflict. (Additional
information in Addendum to Minutes below)
8. E1 Liaison Committee- (Stephenson)
Jill Schroeder wants topics from WSSA members on topics for CAST papers.
9. E2 Washington Liaison Committee-
Hedberg handed out draft of statement to NRI identifying WSSA research
priorities on the biology of weedy and invasive plants. Asked for comments
on draft. Mallory-Smith: asked for timeline. Hedberg: wants to get it to NRI
b4 2/20. Foley: expressed concerns about "mission oriented research" and the
list of weed examples on the draft. Hedberg: wanted to list some specific
examples. For short-time turnaround issues like this draft, he has relied on
regional society presidents input.
Kells moved to have board authorize
president to work with Hedberg to finalize the research priorities for NRI
document. Seconded by Derr. Motion carried.
Hedberg asked for input from other board
members too.
10. E4 Federal & Noxious Invasive Weeds
Committee- (Shaner) John Lydon would like to work with Joyce Lancaster
to identify WSSA members who work in invasive weeds. He would work with
Center for Invasive Plant Management to develop this list. Jachetta: F&NIWC
requests the Board to support EPA policy regarding how weeds are managed
around endangered species and how endangered species are protected from
invasive weed with proper herbicide use. Would like Board to request to
NEWSS to include people from this committee and this would be a good idea
for these people to attend, since the meeting is in Washington, DC.
Jachetta moved to have WSSA propose to
offer to EPA our expertise as a component of our comments. Seconded by Derr.
Discussion- Jachetta: would like to have Hedberg involved in this process.
Motion carried.
11. E11 Weed Loss Committee- (Kells)
committee wants endorsement from Board to support an electronic version of
weed loss information. This committee compiles information on losses due to
weeds. Committee wants to see if they can get grants to do this survey.
12. E12 Herbicide Resistant Plant
Committee- (Jachetta) discussed a standardized list of terms used for
herbicide resistant management.
13. F8 International Affairs Committee-
(Westra) met with committee (Forcella chair). Several requests were made by
this committee and include: 1. Approve non-institutional subscription rate
for libraries in developing countries; 2. For WSSA members who pay full
fees, but elect not to receive Weed Science or Weed Technology,
the IAC requests allowing this committee select needy libraries to which
these journals can be sent. Committee also request giving members
opportunity to select on annual membership form to make this donation if
desired; 3. Approve reduced rate subscription ($100) for "electronic access
only" to journals by needy libraries; 4. Use T-shirt fund for subscriptions
to needy institutions, and allow donations to this fund ear-marked for
subscriptions. 5. Once an honorary member is selected, need to notify IAC.
This committee will facilitate social activities of honoree, if necessary
and as appropriate; 6. With consent of honorary member, IAC will organize a
mini-symposium centered on the honoree's work and/or country. Committee asks
for $1000 to facilitate the mini-symposium. Discussion- Profit from T-shirt
sales was only about $100 to 200. These funds were put into the Endowment
Fund. Hamill: Board voted at summer Board meeting to give the $200 or so to
the IAC. Smeda: it is difficult to keep track of all theses funds. We should
develop some mechanism to keep track of this money and put a time limit to
how long they have to use the money. Board was not supportive of providing
additional funds. With regard to donation of journals, old and new, the
board discussed various issues.
14. F4 Membership and Affiliation
Committee- (Westra) nobody showed up for the meeting. Mallory-Smith:
Board will need work on this to make this an active committee.
15. P8 Newsletter Committee- (Kells)
David Shaw is ready to go with electronic only issue next October. Would
like to include announcements in the next two newsletters with emails to
members notifying them of newsletter, postcard to members without Internet
address. Committee recommends Board accept this notification and give okay
to making this change.
Derr moved and motion was seconded to go
to electronic version only in October and notify members without email
address to be notified one time that the newsletter is available on the net.
Motion carried.
16. P1 Publications Board- (Foley)
Committee wants to become involved with the Plant Management Network
sponsored by APS to have tie-ins to their web site. This would entail minor
in-kind costs. WSSA has their logo on the APS web site. Recommends WSSA
participate in this agreement.
Foley moved and Westra seconded motion to
have board approve WSSA participation in the plant management network.
Motion carried.
Publications Board would also like to
increase publishing Weed Technology from 4 to 6 issues per year.
Submissions to Weed Technology has increased the past few years. This
would help alleviate the backlog of manuscripts. Cost of publishing would
increase. Another way of speeding up availability of articles is to post
them on the net as pdf files. However, reprints help defray the publishing
costs. Purchasing reprints is not optional, but receiving reprints is.
Kells moved and Jackson seconded motion to
go to 6 Weed Technology issues per year. Motion failed.
An electronic journal dealing with invasive
species is going to be proposed by Lars Anderson and Joe DiTomasso.
Publications Board recommended next
Herbicide Handbook be published as a CD. Skipper: why not DVD? Foley:
Possibly, older computers may not read DVD.
Foley: obtaining new ISSN for electronic
versions of our journals. Working with Allen Press and Bio-One to acquire a
digital object identifier code (DOI) to enable searching for articles on the
net.
Foley proposed a pay per view for $300 to
make articles available on the net.
Foley moved and Westra seconded motion to
setup a pay-per-view account for Weed Science and Weed Technology through
Allen Press. Motion carried.
Foley recommended declining prepublication
viewing option and online banner ads.
Publications Board recommended name change
for Weed Technology to Weed and Invasive Plant Management or
Weed Management.
17. P22 Terminology Committee-
(MacDonald) reported that this will be on the Internet soon.
18. P23 Computer Applications- Hamill:
committee will continue to exist.
19. W3 Awards Parent Committee-
(Skipper) Syngenta will give trip to Dr. Rhodes for his award. Neil Harker
is new chair of APC. Planning to have nominations come to sub-committee
chairs as pdf files or immediately changed to pdf files to prevent any
alterations of submissions. Outstanding Young Weed Scientist Award name was
changed two years ago and should be recognized as the Early Career Weed
Scientist Award. Harker also asked for input regarding other kinds of
awards, such as team awards, outreach awards, etc.
20. W4 Biology of Weeds- (Derr) Rob
Gallagher, chair is tentatively proposing two symposia for next year; Seed
loss and predation (Anita Dille, chair), and impacts of invasive species
(Bruce Maxwell, chair). A complaint received on the volunteered symposium
was not that it was not advertised enough. Weed biology section prefers not
having all of their program on one day or scheduled so close together. Some
frustration with the web site, i.e. not enough information on the web site
about weed biology.
21. W6 Nominating Committee- no new
report
22. W7 Strategic Planning Committee-
no new report
23. W10 Constitution and Operating
Procedures Committee- (Skipper) has converted MOP to Word format. Size
has increased from 53 to 83 pages. Skipper: with poor attendance of
committee group meetings, should these be continued? From group, it should
continue.
24. W13 Weed Alert Committee- (Derr)
considered requesting merging this committee with Noxious Weeds Committee,
but decided not to. Would like to include invasive weeds in XID program.
Also would like to have early detection of weeds on the web site.
25. W15 Formulations, Adjuvants, and
Application Technology Committee- no new report
26. W16 Biological Control of Weeds
Committee- (Shaner) received suggestion to not schedule biocontrol
papers on top of each other.
27. W17 Integrated Weed Management
Committee- no new report
28. W19 Resolutions Committee- no new
report
29. W20 Sustainable Agriculture Committee-
no new report
30. S58 Graduate Student Activities
Committee- (Gray) over 50 of 80 graduate students attended Town Hall
Meeting. Brought in Jim Ballinger, AGE, for Q&A. Students really liked it.
For HI, would like to have a graduate student symposium, with no added
expense to WSSA, keep Town Hall meeting and possibly have a panel
discussion. Asked for support from Board. Has done this at SWSS and have had
high attendance. Symposium ideas- resume writing, writing, time management,
statistics, etc. Proposed to Board- formal recognition of Graduate Student
Organization. Board decided to establish a Special Committee of the graduate
student organization. Discussion followed concerning voting privileges and
support of travel to summer board meeting and the annual meeting.
Skipper moved and Shaner seconded motion
to recognize the GSO as a special committee and they would redraft a
proposal regarding membership and present it to the board, and travel funds
will be provided to the representative to attend the summer meeting. Motion
carried.
31. S56 Biotechnology Committee- This
committee has been dissolved. Will become a sub-committee of or inculcated
into the Research Committee. Westra: Gave report from committee. Dr. Jan
Leach from APS regarding need to have a process of carrying forward biotech
initiatives. Would like WSSA board to support initiative to gather
information on weeds that may be sequenced. Also would like WSSA support
development of a workshop.
32. W11 Extension Committee- no new
report
33. W8 History Committee- (Becker)
Appleby provided a draft copy of the History of the WSSA to the WSSA.
Draft will be reviewed by Jean Dawson, Phil Upchurch or Will Carpenter.
Committee suggested making 2000 copies and got a $6 per copy quote from
Allen Press for a softback cover. Committee wants feedback from Board.
History committee currently has $1500 for archives.
Hamill moved and Smeda seconded motion to
support the publication of this book and asked committee to get a price and
financial information on 750 copies of a softcover book. Motion carried.
History of Weed Science- F.L. Timmons
published weed science history up to 1970. Appleby has offered to do an
update from 1970 to present for history of weed science. Committee also
proposed to reprint the history article. Foley: Bob Blackshaw and he are not
excited about republishing an article, although the sequel is welcome.
34. S54 50th Anniversary
Committee- (Becker) Chair is still needed for this committee. Mike
Chandler, Bob Parker, and Will Carpenter have volunteered to serve as
committee members.
35. President's Breakfast- Hamill:
met with presidents and/or regional representative from each Society. Had an
active discussion. Regionals are not willing to fold into one large
organization. Many ideas were discussed on how one regional organization
might work with another regional organization. Suggested to not wait until
next year. Regional representatives should get together before next year.
Jill Schroeder is very interested in this, as CAST representative. How could
the WSSA support something like this, such as sending a couple of
representatives to attend a meeting.
36. Old Business- changing submission
date. This will be discussed with Thill.
37. New Business- Jachetta: Presented
idea for Regulatory Section to have a discussion session at next year's
meeting. Mallory-Smith: provide her with more information as she develops
2005 program.
Smeda asked about the possibility of one-day
fee for attending portions of the annual meeting. This was related to
undergraduate students or others interested in attending a symposium or some
other portion of the annual meeting. Is there a way to pay a one-day fee for
those who are interested? Lancaster: two or three years ago, a one day
registration was provided, but only one person attended so it was dropped.
If this is taken up again, then the rate should be decided at the summer
board meeting.
Lifetime memberships- a foreign
member asked if it was possible to buy a lifetime membership. Mallory-Smith:
suggested that this is something to be investigated by the Membership
Committee.
Murphy moved and Hamill seconded motion to
adjourn. Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned at 3:30 pm.
