Fast-Paced Compelling Topics at Atlantic Pulse: The Atlantic Summit on Health Care, Boston
by Deb Gordon, Janice McCallum, Danny Sands
On Tuesday, April 30, a roomful of health care insiders enjoyed a series of rapid-fire, TED-esque talks, interviews, and panels by leading health care voices at The Atlantic Summit on Health Care (#AtlanticPulse). Several SPM members attended the forum, and we reflected on the most salient themes we took away.
Time’s Up, health care! The power and value of diversity was on display throughout the day, as was evidence that health care has a long way to go before the professionals in

Board Meeting Minutes, February 26, 2019
Discussion of New Treasurer Candidate
There was discussion about the candidate for Treasurer, Debra Cobb, and how the role will differ from the role that John Grohol has played as Treasurer since SPM was founded. After much discussion about how our Bylaws define the Treasurer position, it was agreed that we can meet Debra’s desire to be Treasurer, but not a board member. As Treasurer, she will be an officer of the corporation, but not a member of the board of directors.
Action:
Motion to go forward with a vote for Debra Cobb as Treasurer as an officer of SPM, but not a member of ...

Executive Committee Minutes, November 13, 2018
Discussion on the post-conference evaluation:
Sarah wants us to carefully evaluate whether the annual conference is the best use of our team. In essence, the question is whether there enough Return on Value relative to other alternatives.
Janice pointed out that we spent an awful lot of board meeting time on the conference. We need to make sure we’re focused on what our priorities are and what we want to deliver to members, not overly focused on the annual conference at the expense of other functions.
Danny counters that the annual conference brings people together and helps raise funds. Definitely thinks we should have ...

Learning Exchange (Sarah)
September Learning Exchange was held earlier on the day of this Executive Committee meeting. Webinar was excellent, but attendance was low. Timing of the promotions in late August likely played a role. Also, there were some negative comments about the registration process, which required a company name. Patients who don’t work for a company may find this off-putting. Also, when clicking the Webex link to attend webinar, it required registering again.
