CAB MEETING MINUTES

May 31, 2005

Agenda items:
Miguel’s resignation
Discussion of CAN Focus
Election of Secretary

Discussion items:
Inability of CAB to advise
Boundaries for Staff
Support of Denise’ performance
Suggestion of off-campus meetings
Failure of CAB/TOE project

Miguel’s letter of resignation was discussed in a point by point order at Pade’s request. The failure of the CAB to have an independent direction was discussed. The perceived hostilities within the Staff was discussed, with the feeling that Miguel’s perceptions have some validity, yet there is little or nothing that the CAB can do to remedy the situation.

The prior failure to follow through in the writing of a letter of support on Denise’s behalf was discussed. It was agreed that although Denise has provided us, the CAB, with outstanding support as well as showing great initiative in recruitment and outreach activities, we, the CAB can not effectively evaluate her job performance, as she is not answerable to us.

Dennis suggested the CAB dissolve as it has no real direction and serves no current purpose.

The effectiveness of the CAB/TOE project was discussed. The attendance was limited due to the weekend and venues, and it was felt that the bulk of attendees were already involved in the HIV/AIDS education issue.

An effective outreach must be found along with a source of interested members

Chairs comments: The CAB direction can only be determined by it’s active members. At this meeting 4 attended.

Our next meeting will be June 28, 2005

Topics:
Election of Secretary
Changing by-laws to change frequency of meetings
Input into ACTG funding application
