April 2003 Minutes
Asian American/Pacific Islander Employment Program (AAPIEP)
Thursday, April 24, 2003
Time: 12:00 noon - 1:30 p.m.
National Institutes of Health
Conference Room - 4A52, Bldg. 31A
Bethesda, Maryland
The meeting was called to order by the Chair, Dr. Bill Bunnag,
at 12:15 p.m. The chair noted that the committee did not meet on
the usual 3rd Thursday (4/17) because many members had schedule
conflicts.
Dr. Bunnag noted that some members may have difficulty participating
because of their other meeting conflicts on the 3rd Thursday. Ms.
Lucie Chen suggested that the committee reconsider moving regular
meetings to another day of the week. The chair stated that he would
take this recommendation under advisement. Ms. Chen also suggested
that an E-mail survey be conducted to determine which day is best
for future meetings. The matter should be brought up for some general
discussion at the next meeting.
Since Ms. Selina Lee and Mr. Prahlad Mathur agreed to join this
committee as reflected in the last meeting minutes, the chair asked
Mr. Charly Wells to proceed with the formal recommendation of their
membership to this committee to Mr. Lawrence Self for a formal appointment
by Dr. Zerhouni, as provided in the Operating Procedures of the
committee.
Dr. Bunnag expressed his appreciation to Mr. Wells for his expeditious
help with securing a conference room in Bldg. 50 for the next mentoring
program. Ms. Lucie Chen spearheaded this endeavor with the assistance
of Dr. Simon Liu. This is a second meeting on the mentoring program,
which Ms. Chen was a pivotal force in formulating and bringing the
program to its successful conclusion. This second meeting will be
on May 29th in rooms 1227 and 1223, Bldg. 50. Two speakers have
agreed to participate. Mr. Wells would look into OEODM providing
refreshments at the meeting. Ms. Eva Chen will advertise this event
through the NIH ListServ. Because this will occur next month, the
committee concurred that the next meeting in May be cancelled. The
chair urged all members to attend the mentoring program.
The chair emphasized the need to follow-up on Dr. Kington's comments
at the last meeting. He believed that the committee membership should
consider this matter at the next meeting.
The chair reiterated his hope that the AAPIEC Internet Home page
will be up and running very soon. Mr. Wells and the chair had finished
the layout design and it is now in the hands of the contractor.
The committee recognized that the visibility of this committee,
its missions, and activities are very much dependent on this Web
site. Mr. Wells affirmed that the release of the AAPIEC Home page
is contingent upon the readiness of other special committees of
the OEODM, for simultaneous publications of all special committee
Home Pages, even though the AAPIEC has accomplished this task several
months ago ahead of all other committees.
Future AAPIEC meetings:
June 19 - Rm. 4A52, Bldg. 31A
July 17 - Rm. 4A52, Bldg. 31A
The meeting was adjourned at 1:15 p.m.
