The minutes of the PIP meeting held on April 11, 2003 were reviewed. A motion was made to accept the minutes by David Allen and seconded by Richard Leff. The minutes were then approved by a vote of Amarillo 15 with 1 abstention, Dallas 10.
David Watson presented a PIP Refresher and Explanation presentation answering many of the "Who", "What", "Where", "When", "How's", and "Why's" of the Pharmacy Income Plan. Specific topics of interest included what is the Pharmacy Income Plan, why we have a Pharmacy Income Plan, what PIP funds could be used for, and an explanation of the monthly PIP statement send to each member.
David Watson then gave a "State of the PIP" update showing current budget allocations and growth charts. He also answered the question as to why we retain so much in unallocated explaining that these funds are used to offset certain interest charges related to the SOP pharmacies and for any other academic purchases approved by the Dean.
Shane Greene discussed the new PIP Website to be up and running in the next few weeks. The website will include PIP Bylaws and Explanations, contract templates, meeting minutes, and a special section for frequently asked questions. The website will also be utilized to communicate with the membership on upcoming meetings and announcements.
David Watson continued his presentation answering a few frequently asked questions. The most notable question was in reference to ownership of certain items purchased with personal PIP funds. It was noted that items such as PDA's purchased with personal PIP funds were still considered school property. The individual may use the item as long as they are a Tech employee, but in most circumstances, the property must stay with the school in the event the member leaves.
New member elections were held. Kelly Rudd was nominated for President Elect. She accepted and the nominations ceased. Kelly Rudd was made the new President Elect with all parties voting unanimously. Anthony Busti was nominated for Member at Large. He accepted and was also voted in with a unanimous vote from all parties.
Incentive Prizes of 3 $100.00 additions to personal PIP accounts were to be held directly after the meeting. Results would be e-mailed to the winners.
4:24 pm: Meeting adjourned.
Incentive Prize Winners: Mark Haase, Kenneth McCall, Cynthia Raehl (declined winnings and wishes to be used in appreciation for PIP staff)
