NOT FOR RELEASE
MINUTES OF SECTION COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 17, 2000
Present at the meeting were Sigrid Haines, Nancy Gregor, Mike Schaefer, Carolyn
Jacobs, David Tralins, Marti Knutson, Maggie Costello, Fred Ryland, and Maria
Filardi.
The Council took the following actions:
1. Rather than have MSBA staff make a presentation regarding technology issues
to the membership at a meeting, the Council requested a written summary of
such a presentation to be disseminated among the membership. David Tralins
will contact John Anderson to discuss this with him further.
2. The following programs were discussed and accepted as programs for the
coming year:
October - "Post Compliance Disclosure". Proposed key speaker
- Katie McDermott.
December - View from the Insurance Commissioner’s Office on
Health Law Issues. Proposed key speaker - Steve Larsen.
January - "Representing Providers Before Licensing Boards/Due
Process". Proposed key speaker - Janet Brown/Marc Cohen.
March - HIPAA Regulations. Proposed key speaker - Rose Matricciani.
May - Legislative Update/Stark Issues. Speakers to be determined.
3. Sigrid Haines and Marti Knutson have volunteered to author articles for
the Bar Bulletin. I may author a third or solicit the membership to submit
an article.
4. The Council voted to present a program for the annual meeting June 13th to
June 16th in Ocean City, Maryland. Carolyn Jacobs has volunteered
to be the contact person for this program. Her name will be submitted to MSBA.
Fred has offered to participate, and I believe Jim Jacobs would like to participate,
and I will join in. The deadline for submission of a tentative program title
and description is December 29, 2000. As of now, the program would discuss
Provider, Institutional, and Consumer Issues.
5. The Council voted against participation in Healthcare Decision Week.
6. The Council voted to remain open to the concept of a possible joint program
with the Elder Law Section.
7. The Council voted to submit an increased budget for the year 2001-2002.
8. Maggie Costella agreed to serve as the co-technology liaison with myself.
The meeting was very productive, and I trust that the minutes accurately summarize
that which was discussed. If anyone has any corrections or amplifications,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
