Goals and Objectives

1. Develop action plan assuring at least one SEA member in each anesthesia residency program.
2. Assure at least bi-annual communication with SEA member rep at each training program.
3. Receive,consider, approve/disapprove all membership applications.
4. Track and analyze membership trends.
5. Aggressively retain present and re-recruit past members.
6. Report to BOD semiannually.
7. Develop an action plan to generate an international membership of 50-100 members.

1. An excel formatted list was generated for all Directors of residency education in the U.S. and Puerto Rico with e-mail addresses. This was generated by personal phone calls to each program as much of the information from ACGME was inaccurate.
2. Test e-mails are being sent to each individual confirming accuracy of e-mail address, SEA membership and confirming whether they were indeed the actual director of residency education, and, if not, who that individual would be. Results are pending.
3. Those directors who are not willing to become members will be asked to name a designee in his/her department who is a member and who might serve as a contact.
4. Once an accurate list is confirmed, periodic e-mail communication (annual or even semi-annual) will be conducted with an individual in each program.

UPDATE - 4/15/2002

1. An excel formatted list of all Directors of Residency Education in the United States and Puerto Rico has been generated. This list is alphabetized by state and then Anesthesiology residency program within a state. It contains the name and address of the residency program and e-mail address and membership status of the residency director.    
   
2. Ongoing work consists of perfecting the list and encouraging non-member directors to join the Society, renew membership in the Society or designate a faculty member in their program to join the Society. Thus each program would have at least one contact member in SEA.
   
3. Additional efforts are aimed at developing an e-mail list for all international members in order to facilitate communication and thus help maintain our international membership.

In addition we are attempting to increase international membership by having a lower subscription rate of $30.00 per year (with similar benefits) and by having local recruiters enhancing awareness of our society. Currently these are Brendan Flanagan, MD (in Australia), Frances Forrest, MD and Mark Tooley, CEng, FIPEM (in the United Kingdom) and Alexander L. Garden, MB, ChB (in New Zealand).
