2012 Annual Report

ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS OF ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS

The photo on the front cover is of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum Building on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The building and its exhibits provide visual evidence of the constantly expanding borders of aviation technology. Similarly, new developments in the health arena will have an impact on the lives of all Americans. As the future unfolds, allied health professionals will continue to play an important role in the provision of health care services. Members of the Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions (ASAHP) figure prominently in the academic and clinical preparation of these individuals.

President’s Report appy Holidays to all. I think it would not be a hyperbole to say that this has been a momentous year for the Association. We began the year with the announcement that our long term and esteemed Executive Director, Dr. Tom Elwood would be retiring effective after the 2012 Annual Conference in October. The good news was that he was willing to consider maintaining an active role with the Association by continuing to serve as editor/manager of our publications. It did not take the Board long to agree that this would be a great asset to the Association and I am pleased to report that Tom has assumed these duties.

H

While the loss of Tom as the Executive Director presented a challenge to the Board in terms of how we would approach a replacement, I was very proud of Richard E. Talbott, Ph.D., FASAHP the leadership of the group in viewing this as an opportunity to step back and take a look at the future directions of health care in general and where the rehabilitation sciences and allied health professions could and should take a more active leadership role. In change there are always challenges but also opportunities. To this end, the Board decided to figuratively erase the blackboard and engage in a facilitated strategic planning program over the Spring and Summer of the past year. The summer Board meeting was dedicated to a strategic planning meeting guided by Mo Kasti of the Center for Transformation and Innovation (CTI), associated with the University of South Florida. If the enthusiasm expressed by the members present at the Annual Conference and subsequent unanimous ratification vote of the membership at large is any indication, the work was well worth the effort and has defined our vision and mission for several years to come. It is the vision of the Association to be a leading interprofessional voice for better health and healthcare in satisfying our mission to improve health through excellence in education, interprofessional collaboration, leadership, research, and advocacy. To get there we will need the intelligence, leadership, and wisdom of our membership and the agenda for the 2013 Spring Meeting of the Association in March is being designed to guide the implementation of our Strategic Map. Our strategic objectives will guide our focus and organize our efforts over the next few years and include: Inter-professionalism; Innovation & New Services Development; Advocacy; Alliances & Partnerships; and Marketing, Promotion, & Growth. Finally, the Board was very pleased that our governmental affairs group, Capitol Hill Partners, indicated an interest in expanding its role in terms of the Executive Director position. After reviewing their proposal and several interviews with the principals, the Board was very impressed with the business plan, the experience and qualification of the group and the continuity that would be afforded by such a relationship. As such, we have entered into a contract with CHP to take over the management duties of the Association and named John Colbert, Esq. as our Executive Director. John and Lee Foley will continue to provide legislative advocacy and direction for the Association. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are honored to have the opportunity to work with and for you on behalf of the students, patients, and colleagues who dedicate themselves to better health and healthcare. We look forward to an exciting 2013 and continuing our momentum. Richard E. Talbott, Ph.D., FASAHP ASAHP President

2012 Annual Report

1

Executive Director’s Report nnual Reports for the past two decades were prepared and distributed in advance of the annual conference, usually in early October each year. As mentioned on the previous page in comments made by ASAHP President Richard Talbott, two important events have affected the timing of the release of the 2012 Annual Report. First, an important major revision of the Association’s Strategic Plan was made available for attendees to vote upon at the Business Meeting on October 25 during the annual conference. This new version indicates the direction in which ASAHP will go in coming months and years. Given the importance of the development of this document’s provisions, it made sense to wait until the end of 2012 to distribute this year’s Annual Report.

A

Another circumstance worth noting is that I concluded my service as Executive Director on October 31. John Colbert is my successor, making it quite appropriate to include on the next page of the Annual Report some of his thoughts as the new Executive Director regarding how he views changes that will occur as the Strategic Plan is implemented. Thomas Elwood, Dr.P.H., FASAHP

Meanwhile, the major portion of 2012 was devoted to carrying out aims expressed in the previous version of the Strategic Plan. Hence, the format for this year’s Annual Report adheres to the tradition of describing activities that were carried out according to goals and objectives that were in effect at the beginning of the calendar year. Some highlights that occurred in 2012 include the following: ➣ Institutional Membership increased with the addition of American International College, Andrews University, Harding University, and Mary Baldwin College ➣ ASAHP conducted the 2012-2013 Institutional Profile Survey, producing highly valuable salary data and information about student applications and enrollment. ➣ A faculty retention survey produced responses from more than 1,400 participants. ➣ The Association became a partner in the Institute of Medicine Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education. ➣ The Journal of Allied Health continues to thrive, with large numbers of manuscripts being submitted each month from the U.S. and other countries ➣ Work progressed in the development of a Centralized Application Service (AHCAS) for selected allied health professions. ➣ Lent ASAHP’s name as an amici curiae to an amicus brief entitled Fisher v. Texas at Austin et al, an affirmative action case involving efforts to increase diversity on college and university campuses. Exceptionally valuable assistance in all aspects of the Association’s functions was furnished by staff members Jessica Kaplowitz, Ashley Rasmussen, and Kyle Williams in 2012. As a closing note, I wish to add that for the past 24 years, I have been the beneficiary of much kindness from our members and want you to know how much I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to work with you. Thomas W. Elwood, Dr.P.H., FASAHP ASAHP Executive Director

2012 Annual Report

Executive Director’s Report his past year has been an eventful one for both our nation and ASAHP. Despite the most drawn out and expensive campaign in our nation’s history, a largely status quo election resulted with a repeat of the divided government that has produced only gridlock for the past two years. It remains to be seen whether our nation’s leaders will be able to move past political gamesmanship and refocus its efforts on governance. Issues of great importance to ASAHP will be part of this upcoming debate, including the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the size, shape, and role of postsecondary education.

T

At ASAHP, it has also been an eventful year with the retirement of long time Executive Director, Dr. Tom Elwood, who has played an immeasurable role in John Colbert, M.A., Esq. shaping this association over the past quarter century. I am very pleased to be able to take the reins at ASAHP in partnership with its Board of Directors, but also in continued consultation with Tom, who has been exceedingly generous during this transition and has graciously agreed to stay on as Editor of our Journal of Allied Health and manage our other publications. It is indeed an exciting period for ASAHP, as we begin to implement a thoughtful strategic plan to help move the organization forward for the next generation. I have gotten to know many members of ASAHP over the past four years in providing consulting and governmental affairs assistance to the association, but look forward to working with each of you moving forward. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or Program Director Kyle Williams at [email protected] if we can be of any assistance to you. Best wishes to you and your family during the holidays. John Colbert, Esq.

2012 Annual Report

Strategic Plan Goal I: To Influence Governmental Support Of Allied Health Education And Policy hen the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became law in March 2010, it contained key provisions involving loan forgiveness, recruitment/retention programs, and a mid-life career training program that are aimed specifically at allied health. Other provisions involving area health education centers and geriatric education training have been expanded to include allied health among the entities that are eligible to participate.

W

In the Senate Appropriations bill for FY 2012, there was language urging HRSA to support programs that encourage graduates of certificate and two-year community college programs to enroll in baccalaureate degree-granting programs and health professions schools, and to encourage articulation agreements between community colleges and baccalaureate-degree granting programs and health professions schools that allow for transfer of credits earned in the certificate and associate degree programs. The Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee also urges HRSA to: (1) encourage health professions schools to develop innovative programs for recruiting and supporting individuals, particularly underrepresented minorities, who decide to switch to a career in primary care or the allied health professions, and (2) give priority consideration to schools because of high vacancy rates in some allied health professions. The U.S. Department of Labor makes funding available for projects that prepare workers for careers in nursing, allied health, long-term care, and health information technology. ASAHP has been responsible for including in grant announcements language that enables allied health schools to be among the eligible competitors. Now that a ruling from the Supreme Court enabled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)

2012 Annual Report

to remain the law of the land, its provisions will have tremendous implications for the health workforce and higher education. A lagging economy and a growing national debt will influence how much federal money can be allocated for various initiatives. The revision of the Association’s Strategic Plan revealed during the Business Meeting at the Annual Conference on October 25 places heavy emphasis on having ASAHP achieve a significant impact in the government relations arena. The Association lent its name as an amici curiae to an amicus brief that was filed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) on August 13 at the Supreme Court. It is entitled, Fisher v. Texas at Austin, et al and is aimed at informing the justices about the connection between student body diversity in health professions schools and achieving better health for all Americans. The essence of the case is the use of race in the undergraduate admissions process at the University of Texas. The Association came under the management of the firm of Capitol Hill Partners (CHP) effective November 1, 2010. John Colbert of that firm is ASAHP’s new Executive Director. His CHP colleagues are in a superb position to maximize every opportunity to achieve greater recognition by the government of allied health needs and the potential of members of the allied health professions to enhance the implementation of key features of the ACA in coming years. The Congressional legislative session that opens in 2013 will feature a different group of elected officials who will assume responsibility for serving as chairpersons of key authorization and appropriations committees. New opportunities for allied health may materialize as a result.

Strategic Plan Goal II: To Promote High Quality Allied Health Education he Association’s web site is the source of much valuable information. A centrally placed item that attracts browsers is “News Across The Professions.” Unique in that it covers a broad swath of events taking place both in health care and higher education, on a daily basis descriptions are prepared and links are provided to new reports, funding opportunities, official pronouncements, and other material of interest that originates in government agencies, think tanks, foundations, and research institutes around the world.

T

Thanks to the efforts of ASAHP President-Elect Richard E. Oliver, Ph.D. (Dean, University of Missouri) for the past two years, the website has featured a series of stories and photos from member institutions that furnish information to those who want to know what kinds of services are offered by different allied health professionals. These items have the potential to be used with legislators and other governmental policymakers as a means of highlighting the types of essential allied health services being provided in their congressional districts and states. Members of the Association’s Accreditation Committee continued to be actively involved with the Association of Specialized & Professional Accreditors (ASPA). ASAHP President Richard E. Talbott, Ph.D. (Dean, University of South Alabama), ASAHP Immediate Past-President (and newly elected Treasurer) Gregory H. Frazer, Ph.D. (Dean, Duquesne University), and ASAHP Board Member Barry S. Eckert, Ph.D. (Dean, Long Island University—Brooklyn have played an active role in this endeavor. The Keynote Speaker at the 2012 Association’s Spring Meeting in Palm Springs, CA. was Anthony Knettel, J.D., Senior Director for Policy and Strategy of the American Association of Academic Health Centers (AAHC). His topic was “The Business Case for Academia in Addressing Environmental, Social, and Behavioral Determinants of Health.”

6

Former ASAHP Board Member and Treasurer Randall S. Lambrecht, Ph.D. (Vice President, Aurora Health Care) was the Deans’ Memorial Lecturer. His address focused on challenges involved in having adequate resources to achieve important objectives in both the health delivery and educational domains. Other major presentations at the Spring Meeting were made during panel discussions. Topics and presenters were: Panel Discussion on Diverse Clinical Education Models; Implications for Workforce Development (Moderator: Julie O’Sullivan Maillet, Ph.D., University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey) Claire Bender, M.D. (Mayo School of Health Sciences) James Fitzgibbon, Ph.D. (Kaiser Permanente) Richard Oliver, Ph.D. (University of Missouri Jacqueline Smith, Ph.D. (Midwestern University) Panel Discussion on Student Assessment and Learning Outcomes (Moderator: Barry Eckert, Ph.D., Long Island University—Brooklyn) Mary Jane Harris (Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education) Neil Harvison (Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education) Sean McKitrick (Middle States Commission on Higher Education) Tess Kirsch (Council on Academic Accreditation Audiology—Speech-Language Pathology)

“Now, the work begins— it is time for us all to join forces to achieve our Vision that by 2015, ASAHP is a leading inter-professional voice for better health and healthcare and that we fulfill our Mission To Improve Health Through Excellence in Education, Interprofessional Collaboration, Leadership, Research and Advocacy.” Statement by ASAHP President Richard E. Talbott upon completion of the new Strategic Plan in 2012

2012 Annual Report

The Association is a major sponsor of National Allied Health Week, which is observed during the first week of November each year. Members use this occasion to highlight the contributions that allied health professionals make in the provision of cost-effective, highquality patient care. Examples of activities arranged at member institutions include: job fairs, blood drives, alumni panel discussions, information booths at student union buildings, open houses, luncheons for high school counselors, health screenings, and campus walkathons. Descriptions P of what occurred at several ASAHP member institutions, along with photos, are Route

placed in issues of the newsletter TRENDS each year. ASAHP release a new book in 2012 entitled An Overview of Health Care and the Health Professions: Changing D Demographics and Health It may prove ideal for R Reform. u use by students in courses o offered at ASAHP member in institutions, especially in any c courses that focus on the health ssciences in general rather than on aany particular profession. Along with a Foreword, Introduction, Epilogue, a lilist of useful websites, and a Glossary, th the 300-page text contains more than 4 430 references, some of which are c current as of January 2012, and 16 c chapters on a wide range of relevant to topics.

Strategic Plan Goal III: To Promote Collaboration And Partnerships SAHP became a partner in 2012 in the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education. The Association is a sponsor of this three-year endeavor and President Richard Talbott, Ph.D. serves as the ASAHP representative. The purpose of the Forum is to engage key organizations in discussions that will illuminate contemporary issues in health professional education and create an ongoing, innovative mechanism to incubate and review new ideas. Forum members include representatives of U.S and foreign government agencies, health professional associations, foundations, international nongovernmental organizations, and industry.

A

The following individuals served as ASAHP representatives on the CAAHEP (Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs) in 2012: Hugh W. Bonner, Ph.D. (SUNY Upstate Medical University) Barry S. Eckert, Ph.D. (Long Island University— Brooklyn)** Julie O’Sullivan Maillet, Ph.D. (Interim Dean, University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey) David C. Shelledy, Ph.D. (Rush University) Yasmen Simonian, Ph.D. (Weber State University)**

Health Professions (FASHP) and the Healthy People Curriculum Task Force. The purpose of the latter group is to encourage greater integration of prevention concepts into the education of health professionals. Kenneth Johnson, Ph.D. (Associate Dean, Weber State University) has been an active participant for the past three years. The following statement was approved by ASAHP and the National Network of Health Career Programs in Two-Year Colleges (NN2) in 2012: NN2 and ASAHP share a common interest in helping students successfully transition from 2year to 4-year institutions in pursuit of their educational and health career goals. In order to promote pathways that foster educational progression, NN2 and ASAHP encourage collaboration among institutions to promote transferability of credit, and facilitate articulation between 2-year and 4-year programs, that is designed to minimize overlap and unnecessary redundancy whenever feasible.” The two organizations will continue to explore ways of improving the quality of education provided for allied health students.

**Also served as Board Members at CAAHEP. In other activities involving accreditation, David Shelledy served as ASAHP’s representative on the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) and Hugh Bonner was ASAHP’s representative to the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). During 2012, ASAHP was one of 38 organizations belonging to The Coalition for Patients’ Rights. The group was formed in response to activities of the American Medical Association and other medical societies regarding scope of practice issues. During the past year, ASAHP also was a member of the: Federation of Associations of Schools of the

“In the meantime, the state regulations still exist and institutions should do their best to comply. Accreditors are watching and requiring institutions to certify that they comply with all federal and state laws. The Department of Education does have the ability to go back and reissue the regulations.” Attorney Nancy Williamson of the University of Maryland speaking at the 2012 ASAHP Annual Conference on the topic of State Authorization Regulations of higher education programs in the health professions.

2012 Annual Report

Strategic Plan Goal IV: To Strengthen Research And Scholarship he Institutional Profile Survey project was under the direction of Brenda M. Coppard, Ph.D. (Associate Dean, School of Pharmacy & Health Professions at Creighton University). The study was conducted electronically and the findings will be reported using that same technology. The findings and a summary report of data collected for the 2011-2012 academic year were distributed electronically in February 2012.

T

A total of 80 colleges and universities furnished data in Fall 2012. Summary reports for institutional type sub-groups such as southern academic health centers and for respondents as a whole contain the following kinds of information: level of educational preparation of faculty, administrator and faculty salaries, gender and ethnicity, student enrollment, clinical income, number of clinical affiliates by program, and extramural financial support. Using at from f the 2012-2013 survey results, along with data previous years, it will be possible to examine trends in the various fields where information was collected. Salaries, enrollment, budget, grants, and faculty size lend themselves to this level of analysis. An auto-tutorial was developed and made available on the ASAHP website in the summer of 2008. Many participants in the iterations of the survey conducted since then have reported that this new tool proves to be immensely helpful. A study under the direction of Board Members Kevin Rudeen, Ph.D. (University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center) and David Shelledy, Ph.D. (Rush University) was conducted to determine factors associated with faculty job satisfaction and attrition in the health sciences. More than 1,400 respondents provided data. The results were discussed during two concurrent session presentations at the 2012 ASAHP Annual Conference and one or more papers will be submitted for publication. In July 2011, the Board of Directors approved a request from the Research Committee to provide up 2012 Annual Report

to $15,000 in seed money for one new interdisciplinary research project regarding health and rehabilitation that is executed by ASAHP members. The project aims and investigators must represent more than one discipline (from within, or external to, a specific university). Ksenia Ustinova, Jan Perkins, Wesley L Leonard, Christopher Ingersoll, and R Reed Skeel of Central Michigan U University produced the winning a application. Their project is entitled, “ “Virtual Reality Game-Based T Telerehabilitation in Patients with Brain Injury.” The goal is to T Traumatic e establish efficacy of the Virtual Reality ( (VR) telerehabilitation program in r restoring motor coordination deficits in p patients with Traumatic Brain Injury ( (TBI). The one-year project began on J 1. The results will be presented at July t 2013 ASAHP Annual Conference. the ASAHP conferences and meetings offer a venue that is highly visible for the display of research and scholarly posters, along with presentations in concurrent sessions and workshops. The 2012 Annual Conference in Orlando, FL resulted in the submission of 72 abstracts. Presentations in 11 concurrent sessions and a poster session occurred at this event. Outside speakers give major addresses at plenary sessions during Annual Conferences. The 2012 Annual Conference featured the Mary E. Switzer Lecture, which was presented by Jennifer Hicks of Stanford University. Her topic was Modeling and Simulation Tools for Rehabilitation Research. Additional Keynote Addresses at the conference were presented by Mark Taylor (University of Arkansas), Sheryl Dodds (Mercy Hospital), Nancy Williamson and James Koebel (University of Maryland) The Journal of Allied Health is a scholarly periodical that is produced quarterly. A key feature that distinguishes it from other publications is that it cuts across the various allied health professions.

Former ASAHP Executive Director Thomas W. Elwood serves as Editor of the Journal and manager of all other Association publications. In addition to the printed version, since 2001 the Journal has appeared on the World Wide Web through the company Ingenta. As a result, the Association’s periodical is enhanced because more than 20,000 institutions such as libraries and more than 25,000,000 end users have access to it. Each year, thousands of browsers around the globe go online to inspect Journal abstracts and many subsequently pay a fee to download articles. ASAHP’s Journal ranks in the top 90 every month in a survey done of 16,200 periodicals that is based on the number of full-text downloads. A high point was reached when the Journal of Allied Health was ranked 60th in September 2012. As a means of generating wider visibility of this publication, beginning with the Spring 2007 issue, one article per issue is available on ASAHP’s website at no charge. As a reflection of the spread of globalization, articles from other countries have become regular features. In 2012, the Journal attracted more than 90 manuscripts from the U.S. and other nations. A new feature was added beginning with the Spring 2010 issue of the Journal under the heading Quiddity, which is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary to mean essence. The purpose of the addition is to provide a brief survey of material that appears in other periodicals or in the world of gray literature, i.e., documents that might be missed by conventional search engines on the Web such as conference proceedings. A hope is that Quiddity will enable readers to travel down literary paths that either are completely unfamiliar to them or are not immediately perceived to be germane to their special interests. The bi-weekly ASAHP UPDATE provides Institutional Members with a steady stream of information about the Association as well as external items of interest such as grant announcements, fellowship opportunities, and legislative developments on Capitol Hill. Each issue is disseminated electronically. The Internet also is used frequently to provide assistance to members who wish to learn how a

10

wide variety of problems and new initiatives are tackled at other institutions. ASAHP acts as the conduit through which such requests are channeled, along with the responses that are generated. An example of a topic that led to information sharing in 2012 is the kinds of personnel available to deal with HIPAA compliance issues. Other queries produced useful information involving: ➣ Guidelines for distribution of teaching, research and service of hours/week for a regular semester academic load and the need to identify some benchmarks. ➣ How much of a deposit (if any) do other institutions require of students accepted into their graduate allied health programs in order to retain their seats in the program? ➣ What electronic professionalism policies have been developed to address issues surrounding the use of social media such as Facebook? ➣ Suggested names of keynote speakers who could promote the value of interprofessional health sciences education in preparing allied health professionals to become part of the changing healthcare delivery system. ➣ What are the processes for handling affiliation agreements/contracts, student clinical requirements (immunization tracking, CPR tracking), and tracking student clinical rotations? ➣ What kinds of systems exist for benchmark salary and productivity that are metricsbased and that allow an institution’s values to be reflected in the compensation model? The newsletter TRENDS is produced monthly. Articles tend to be longer and more inclusive than what appears in the UPDATE. Featured columns include the ASAHP President’s Message, Congressional and Executive Branch information, news from the colleges, photographs, excerpts from plenary session addresses at Association conferences/meetings, and extensive lists of available resources. TRENDS appears on the Association’s web site and copies are sent electronically to the membership.

2012 Annual Report

Strategic Plan Goal V: To Develop Academic Leaders rom 1998 until 2005, with partial funding by the Bureau of Health Professions, ASAHP conducted a Leadership Development Program in ied Journal of All conjunction with the National Network of Health Career Programs in Two-Year Colleges, the Health Professions Network, the National Society of Allied Health, and the American Association of Community Colleges. The Association offered its own program exclusively for individuals from ASAHP member institutions in 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011. The next offering will occur in 2013. The target group is associate/assistant deans, department chairpersons/directors, and deans who had served in that ASAH position for less than 24-months.

Examples of activities pursued by committees and task forces are as follows: Members of the Accreditation Committee participated in activities of the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors (ASPA). The Constitution & Bylaws Committee did not have to be involved in any proposed bylaws changes in the past year. The Finance Committee, which consists of the Treasurer and three Members of the Board of Directors, made decisions regarding the presentation of financial information to the Board and implemented changes in the way the annual budget is developed and investment portfolio returns are allocated to restricted and unrestricted initiative accounts. The Health Education Policy & Government Relations Task Force orchestrated separate letter writing campaigns to have funding restored for allied health under Title VII. The Leadership Committee was involved in planning the 2013 Leadership Development Program for associate/assistant deans, department chairpersons/directors, and new deans. The Nominations and Election Committee is an elected group that prepares a slate of candidates each year for the Board of Directors and positions on the Nominations and Election Committee itself. The Research Committee is examining how to enrich the research aspects of the ASAHP homepage on the Web. Other activities include developing concurrent sessions at ASAHP Annual Conferences and also having a Roundtable Discussion on research during this event. The committee will work on an endeavor funded by the Association to support interdisciplinary projects from faculty at ASAHP member institutions.

2012 Annual Report

Treasurer’s Report he financial position of our organization is in good shape despite the market forces. For the 19th consecutive year, beginning with the time ASAHP resumed being a freestanding, independent organization, we completed the most recent fiscal year with an excess of revenues over expenditures.

T

Susan N. Hanrahan, Ph.D., FASAHP

Apart from the successful day-to-day management of income and expenses, our investment portfolio was able to withstand the schizophrenic financial markets during the past 12 months. For the fiscal year that ended on June 30 of this year, our investment portfolio increased in value by $25,056. That amount represents growth of 2.74% from the previous fiscal year. Credit goes to our Executive Director, Tom Elwood and our investment management firm, Merrill Lynch.

Our primary investment objective is to preserve capital, with income growth being a secondary, but still an important consideration. More than one-half of the portfolio is comprised of the equivalent of a one-year reserve, which is invested in five high quality bank certificates of deposit (CDs) that are staggered in equal amounts over a five-year period. When one of them matures, it is reinvested in a similar financial instrument. The advantage is that if interest rates go up, the new investment will produce a greater return. In the event rates drop and it has to be reinvested for a lower gain, then the remaining four CDs continue to yield higher rates of return. Thirty-four different kinds of investments are in a mix of equities and fixed income accounts. This degree of diversification helps to shield the portfolio to a great extent from market downturns. Overall, the exposure in the form of equity mutual funds was 17% for three-quarters of the fiscal year. Because the portfolio was heavily weighted with fixed income securities, which have been performing at record low levels of return, the overall 2.47% growth in it over the previous fiscal year is a positive development. As a means of seeking to capitalize on improved market conditions, however, some money was reallocated to equities in the last quarter of the fiscal year. By the end of the 12-month period, they constituted 25% of the overall portfolio. Recognizing that our member institutions continue to be affected adversely by a stagnant economy, the Board has been mindful of the impact of Association membership annual dues increases. During the last six years, there were occasions when none was imposed. For the fiscal year that began on July 1 of this year, dues will remain the same that they were last year. I’ll close by indicating that the Association has sufficient resources to maintain its ability to have a significant impact nationally in the areas of allied health public policy, research, education, and practice. The Finance Committee is committed to our Association goals and the requisite fiscal responsibility it entails. This next year is one of transition for our Association, not only with our new management firm and the retirement of our Executive Director, Tom Elwood, but with a new treasurer, Dean Greg Frazer. It has been a privilege to serve the Association as Treasurer for the past two years.
