Academy of Fellows - June 1999 Meeting Minutes
Academy of Fellows Breakfast Meeting
Wednesday, June 23 from 7 to 8:15 AM. Charlotte, NC
Chairperson Bill LeBold opened the meeting at 7:00AM by welcoming the new Fellows. Everyone introduced himself or herself, new and old Fellows alike.
The minutes of the 1998 Meeting in Seattle were moved, seconded and passed.
It was decided that Bob Page would chair Session 3552. Larry Grayson had made his video of 150 years of ASEE history available to Bob. All photographic records from the earlier years have been lost. The Session was to be in Room 210 at 2:30.
Discussion on the Year 2000 Annual Conference in St. Louis:
It was agreed that the ASEE Fellows should participate fully during all Sessions and the planning of sessions, making their special contributions where possible.
St. Louis is an auspicious place for the 2000 Annual Conference.
It was agreed that former ASEE presidents would add a very special value to the conference. Several names were mentioned. Lyle Feisel volunteered to contact the Order of Tattered Purple Badges to have as many of them (The Past ASEE Presidents) as possible come to the conference. Many ASEE Past Presidents are Fellows.
Art Murphy said that DuPont would also be having its 200 anniversary next year. He will contact the Chemical Heritage Society for their participation.
It was agreed that it would be of particular value to have corporations that hire engineers participate on the program at the 2000 Conference. They have hired thousand of engineers from the schools represented by the ASEE. Bill LeBold will contact the Corporate Member Council to encourage such participation.
Ed Jones invited everyone to look beyond the 50 States as well.
John Weese said that it is easier to get fellows from the large institutions to participate.
The Nominating Committee:
Cary Fisher made a report by e-mail on behalf of the
Nominating Committee. They analyzed the Fellow Criteria,
did a survey, and decided to keep the Criteria the
same. It was concluded that international and non-ASEE
contributions are important and should be considered.
But, such individuals need to be more than members
of the ASEE in name only. There must be high level
service to the ASEE/ABET as well.
Chairperson LeBold named Bob Page (Chair) and George Burnett as continuing members of the Nominating Committee. He called for another nomination from the floor. Angelo Perna was nominated to be the new member of the Committee by Deran Hanasian. His nomination was approved by acclamation.
Newsletter:
It was agreed that Felicia Guglielmi would put the
Academy News on the ASEE Website.
Fellows Pins:
Fellows Pins are available at ASEE headquarters for
those who may have lost them.
Resolutions:
Bob Page delivered a commemorative resolution on behalf
of Don Marlowe. Bill LeBold noted the passing of Al
Ingersoll and Charlie Wales.
The meeting adjourned at 8:15.
Respectfully submitted by:
Lawrence J. Wolf
Vice Chair and Secretary
