RE: Health Physics Society vs some other name

["Vernig, Peter G." <Peter.Vernig@med.va.gov>]

Jack,

I started this thread, simply to get the arguments.  I would presume Dr.
Johnson will submit a formal proposition for consideration with candidates
for society office, if he intends to go forward with the proposal.  I do not
know what the time table for that is.  In the past some amendments had been
proposed that some felt very strongly about and I had seen/read very little
about the issues.

Mention has been made about the change of name for the annual meeting.  I am
not a parliamentarian but I presume the Board of Directors has the authority
to make that change without referring it to a vote of the Plenary members.
A change of the name of the society could hardly be done without that vote.

BTW, I appreciate all of you that took time to respond.

Thanks and Regards

Peter G. Vernig, VA Medical Center, Denver
American Radiation Safety Conference and Exposition (HPS 2000) I look
forward to meeting some of you!

There are strong opinions on both sides of this issue.  I think it only fair

that this issue be open to debate in a manner consistent with the by-laws of

the Society (Article VI, Section 9 and Article VII, Section 10).  Therefore,

I would like to see a formal proposition concerning the name change
submitted 
to the membership for membership approval prior to any change. 

Sincerely,

Jack McCarthy, CHP
