6 M E S S A G E F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T BOARD OF REGENTS MEET IN OREGON The spring 2011 Board of Regents meeting was held at the Allison Inn and Spa in Newberg, Oregon May 11-14, Attending Fellows and guests enjoyed a wide variety of local venues, such as traveling by The Trolley for wine tasting with a luncheon at the Joel Palmer House restaurant, visiting a working llama ranch, lunch and tour at the world headquarters of A-dec dental equipment manufacturing facility, visiting the Evergreen Museum - home of the Howard Hughes Spruce Goose, and stopping by numerous art galleries and wineries. Over thirty committees and individuals presented reports to the Board of Regents representing the vitality and diverse activities which the USA Section Fellows are leading to make a difference. Some of the highlights include: Proposed a USA-based outreach project that would create a network of ICD Fellows to provide emergency dental care to families staying in one of 54 "Fisher Houses" during the time Wounded Warriors" are hospitalized to receive rehabilitative care. Voted to increase the number of Honorary Fellowship awards to four per year with one being from industry. Celebrated the agreement, adoption and documentation of a cooperative and mutually supportive legal governance relationship between the USA Section and the USA Section Foundation. During the first two days of meetings, two outstanding professional development courses were enjoyed by the Fellows, spouses and guests. Fellow Dr. Steve Beadnell, oral maxillofacial surgeon, presented "Home and Office Medical Emergencies". Dr. Fritz Fraunfelder, opthalmologist and retirement book author, presented "Retirement Rx", and then offered a copy of his evidence-based book to each Fellow/guest group in attendance. Overall the spring BOR meeting was productive, stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding. The USA Section is making a bigger difference through ongoing leadership by all Fellows. Jack W.
