Very good. Well, I'd like for everybody as you're joining to go ahead and type your name in the chat window. That way that'll serve as our as our roster of attendance. So thank you, Dr. Eskew. You guys are great. So great. Our audience here is going to serve themselves their lunch. But in order to be generous with your time, and also our afternoon speakers, I'll go ahead and go through some preliminary introductions. So our president is Dr. Mary Elizabeth Henley. She practices in Charleston, South Carolina. Dr. Henley, thank you so much for your leadership. Our program chair and president elect who I'd like for us to give a vigorous round of applause to. I tell people who are foolish enough to run for office in our organization, that the president elect here is the hardest because you serve as program chair. So Dr. Wriston, you've done a wonderful job with this program, and we appreciate it. She practices in in Westerville, which is a verb of Cleveland as I understand, correct? Columbus, I'm sorry, all those C words. I don't know why Ohio names every big city after the letter C. Our treasurer who I've given heartburn to this year is Dr. Chris Bellen. I know he's on board. And our secretary is Dr. Shane Day. If you're just joining us late, please open your chat window and type your name in the chat so that we have you on our attendance roster. Our three division chairs, Dr. Silberman, who's aerospace medicine, and he's in his living room in Oklahoma City, it looks like. Dr. Baltresaitis, who's here in the room, and we want to thank you for the lead acid battery plant grand rounds you organized for us here in Tampa. And Dr. Luzanne Philpott, who's our public health division chair. Also, we'd like to thank our past president, Dr. Schwade, for helping out so much with public health. There's Dr. Schwade, handsome young man. So our at-large trustees you see here on the screen, we'd like to welcome Dr. Estip and Everson, who are in the center column here. They're our newest trustees. Dr. Kenton Wanan will be rotating off at the end of the year, and Dr. Fowler and Keith Proctor are in the middle of their cycle. So every year, two of our at-large trustees rotate off, and we elect two more for a three-year term. For many, many years, Dr. Huma Abbasi's been our associate member rep. She's in a senior leadership role with Chevron, and they have always been so generous and supportive to our college. Dr. Joseph Zell was previously the resident representative to our board. He took a year off and has rejoined us as a new physician in practice. So after completing his residency and fellowship training, he now works for General Motors, and it's just been deployed. He's in the reserves as well. So he'll be representing us, representing our new members in practice. We're trying to get some youth into our leadership pipeline, so I really appreciate Dr. Zell along with the next two people I'll mention. Dr. Elon Newsom's on board. He's representing our residents and fellows, and he's in Fort Rucker, I think doing an aerospace medicine residency. Is that right, Dr. Newsom? That's correct, aerospace medicine. Thank you so much. And I'm going to say Dr. Morris, because I believe I saw online that their graduation was last night. Is that right, Corey? He may be partying, I don't know. But so I think he's now a doctor, and I know he matched, I forget if it's family medicine or internal medicine, but he'll be in Somerset, Kentucky there in Cumberland. So a very good program. I'm very familiar with that training program. Dr. Morris has interviewed several of our key leaders, including Dr. Silberman, Dr. Allen, Dr. Lance Walker, and there's just really neat little 15 or 20-minute videos about the nature of their work and with the idea of having these on our website and on our social media for med students and maybe residents that are looking to expand their scope of practice by adding some med components. So thank you, Dr. Morris, for that hard work. I really appreciate you. Dr. Michael Miller is our membership chair. He's done an outstanding job. He's the one who really kicked me in the fanny to go young with our membership recruiting efforts, and I appreciate that. And Dr. Dan Barry, he is here at the meeting. Unfortunately, he's observing the Sabbath. I guess fortunately, he's observing the Sabbath, so he's not going to be with us this morning. Big kudos and thanks to Dr. Goldstein. We love Dr. Goldstein. He always challenges our board to think beyond what we're thinking, and he always gives great pearls of wisdom. And, you know, he's one of the original founders of the college, so Dr. Goldstein's a real champ, and I love him. So my beautiful wife, Rhonda, I really out-funded my coverage when I met her. She does all the work, and the only thing I do is talk at these meetings, really. So I emailed each of you two PDFs. One of them was the presentation you're seeing now. The previous one was the presentation from our January 20th meeting. I would present those to you as a proxy to minutes because it contains all the information we reviewed. So at this time, I would welcome either someone from our live audience here or someone in the virtual land to either move to approve this presentation as our minutes or to maybe ask me to correct any typos. So moved. It's been moved. Do I hear a second? Second. I've heard about seven seconds, so all in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Thank you. Thank you. So Dr. Berry's not here. I want to thank Dr. Berry, though, and the board for fighting so vigorously to maintain our CAQ and occupational medicine. During our last two meetings, we mentioned... Okay, I muted all participants except for me, so maybe there won't be as much background noise. Anyway, so the Board of Osteopathic Specialists has a particular committee. Well, let me ask Dr. Miller, would you mind kind of going through the ramifications we had to go through to save the CAQ? And please come to the podium so they can hear you better. Thank you, Jeffrey. Pleasure to be here with you today and represent the American Osteopathic Board of Preventative Medicine. I am also a member of the Board of Osteopathic Specialists, and I really want to give... It's not quite cake, as Jeffrey would say, I think of the term I've heard you use before. Everything looks very good. It was approved at the BOS level to maintain a certification of added qualification that this college started the program, and then the Board of Osteopathic Medicine started the CAQ examination process decades ago. But there was some confusion in the AOA. There were a number of organizations that had subspecialty certification, and they were using the term certification of added qualification. It became very confusing. Certainly, our occupational medicine CAQ is not intended to be a certification, a subspecialty certification. And so there was not the alignment that there should have been. And so that's why the Board of Osteopathic Specialists looked at the policies and procedures. And they actually had a meeting with our Osteopathic Board of Preventative Medicine, try to understand the historical perspective of what it was, what it was not. And they were very open. I will give them kudos for listening to us, understanding us. And so just two weekends ago, there was a vote on that. But it does not become official until it goes to the Board of Osteopathic Trustees at the AOA. So this is not a done deal, but it looks very favorable. I guess that's how I could politically correctly state the status currently is of that document. So it does look good. And I think it should shortly be official. Does that make sense? And then I'm sorry, the other thing to make the membership aware is trying again to be focused on members and certification diplomats. The AOA reviewed the process for the board recertification of members. And there was a lot of discussion that there still is a need to have a high stakes examination for initial board specialty certifications. So they still will need to do a board certification examination on initial certification. But for recertifications, that is going to be going has gone to a longitudinal assessment process, which means that and Dan does a much more eloquent job at describing this than I. So I apologize that I'm not Dan Barry. But the fact is that there will be a process, they'll be rolled out where it'll be open book, continuous questions that need to be answered over time in a, I think a very user-friendly open book format. So it's not a high stakes examination but it does demonstrate proficiency and continual commitment to education to maintain your board certification status. So that is what the longitudinal assessment process will be. Questions for Dr. Miller? Okay, great. I don't want to wait too long. Somebody might unmute. So we've had a very tumultuous year but it's been a very successful year. We were, bear with me, I'm getting a text here from the boss. Yeah, we've had a handful of folks join late. So if you haven't already, please open up the chat window and just type your name so that we can get an accurate roster of attendance. So 2021 was a difficult year for our entire nation and particularly for our family. We, Rhonda lost one of her parents. We took in the other one. We were structurally unemployed for a while. We moved our offices from Northeast Tennessee back to Central Oklahoma. So it's been a great year in terms of transformation and change. The good news is we're back closer to our children but I'm getting a little too personal here. We've had very, very successful hybrid and on-demand CME offerings. So our college has actually done very well during the pandemic. We're now offering a lot of our CME on-demand that's also eligible for ACCME credits. So we're appealing to a much broader audience for our on-demand learning. And we'll show you some of that data during Dr. Bellen's treasure report. We're actually continuing to grow our membership a little bit, although I must say that the largest or the most rapidly growing branch of our membership is from our retired and emeritus folks. In any event, we created a sister organization called Occupational Preventive and Aerospace Medicine with the purpose of being able to offer our courses to a wider audience and to get a wider participation from various other interested groups, i.e. wound medicine, correctional medicine, corporate medical directors, mid-level providers, so that our group would not only appeal to a larger base but we would get more diverse input into our planning as we go forward with the idea that should the numbers of AOA certified Occ Med physicians dwindle to a point where the college can't quite sustain itself, the legacy of the college could survive and continue on. So ideally, we'll run the two organizations as sister organizations for a while in hopefully AOCOPM's best days are ahead of it. But in terms of scenario planning, we felt like it was very, very important to create this sister organization. Any questions for me? And again, I apologize for kind of going through some of our personal drama, but I felt the membership should be aware of these changes because whenever the LaBeoufs relocate, because of the generosity of your board of trustees, the college relocates as well. Okay, so Dr. Bellin, I would certainly invite you to unmute yourself and please present the treasurer's report. Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate that very much. And thanks to you and Rhonda. We can't do this without you. Appreciate that update too. And Jeff, as I go through this, please correct me or jump in if I'm off base. But additional thanks to Dr. Naomi Wriston, the prior AOCOPM treasurer and entire fiscal committee. Thank you for a wonderful job. I could really tell that you set our organization up for success. The overall fiscal health for AOCOPM is good and the prognosis is excellent. This first slide is a balance sheet as of 14 April. And the bottom line up front is that it shows where the assets are, bank investments, and how equity flowed, liabilities and equity. You can see that we have money market and CDs, which are excellent to have during time of change in the market. So those are good insured savings accounts. So I think we're in a healthy position at this point. If you do have any questions or thoughts or recommendations, please feel free to email me with your thoughts. We will continue to look at the asset distribution investments and options and opportunities over time. Note that the net income as of 14 April is $172,742. That is good news. During times of COVID-19, having a steady and increasing, we'll see that later, how that's increased over the previous year income stream, given that all goes well. For the organization is what we need to show that success. So the next slide is the net income as of 14 April. That's also the 172,000 good news during COVID-19. It shows that very well. So if we briefly look, is this this slide 18, Jeff, that we're on? Right, this is the fiscal year end 831-21. So I wanted to show them where we're at at the end of the last fiscal year. We might point out that we were fortunate enough to have a communicable disease rider on our meeting that was canceled in early 2020. They don't write those riders anymore. But back then for 29 bucks, I bought a communicable disease rider. So even though we had to cancel our mid-year meeting, we still got a check for the lost profits from Lloyd's in London. And you can see the $23,500 there. Yeah, nicely done, good strategic planning. And you can see the $180,000 there at the bottom for the income. And next slide is the profit loss statement highlights. So this is what went out and you can see the different areas there. The administration, total administration annual meeting, that's very consistent with previous years. And the net income is the 58. So last year, 58,000, if things goes plan, looking great for this next fiscal year. So we're tracking the right direction. And there we go. This is the 2021. And it shows the ordinary income expense, the income expense with the net income year to date that we talked about when we started out of the $172,000. So strong work by Jeff Rhonda and the entire AOCOPM leadership team. Our financial future is bright. Back to you, Jeff. Thank you so much. Any questions for Dr. Bellen? We have a question for Dr. Wriston and I'll repeat it. Go ahead. Dr. Wriston, I think on the income, most of the income came actually, I think from what used to be on demand. And I think this is wonderful to see. We didn't used to have that. Will this meeting now add, and people will be able to look up, and I don't know how long those are available. Yeah, so we can have these meetings. No, okay. So she asked about, or wanted me to point out that a lot of our income is due to the on-demand revenue. And there's actually on-demand portals to some of this other meeting income, i.e. right here. And she asked if that would continue and if the results or the CME content from this meeting will be uploaded to the on-demand portal. Yes. So the reason we're so profitable is primarily due to two things. One of them is when we do a hybrid meeting like this, and when we were in the throes of the lockdown and we do pure virtual meetings, not only will we have a real-time audience when we first did it, but we would capture that content via Zoom, and then we would edit the videos and upload it to the OA's on-demand portal. So that property ends up having some residual income that continues to come in. We're making tons of money on our basic course, for example. So that's half of why we're doing better. The other half, and I love you guys, about 45 of you are not here today, so I didn't have to really feed you. And hotel food prices were the reason why before we had hybrid meetings, all of our meetings would always barely break even or even lose a little. And that was okay because that's the mission of our organization. Well, now that I'm not having to feed all of the people, although I'd love to be able to send a mail to Stu Russell, because I'm not having to feed you, it means that our actual brick-and-mortar conferences are a little more profitable too. Hopefully that answers your question. So at this time, Dr. Kenton, I'm gonna wait on your committee because I've got some special slides just for you, but are there any division updates or committee or task force updates that anyone would like to mention? Jeffrey, it's Warren. Just so you know, although we're probably gonna talk about OMED, but I've only had two positive responses to OMED so far. She doesn't have to do it obviously right this minute, but if Rhonda could tell me how many more folks I need to try to get, especially this week. So next week when I'm at asthma, I can personally hit people up perhaps. So I think Boston is definitely an attraction. So, and it's not until like the second week in October, so it's a little bit better than the very beginning of the fiscal year. So that's one issue. And then the other issue is for continuity, for continuity, I have been, I would be more than happy to donate the aerospace medicine division to some up and coming flight surgeon who would be interested in taking the position. I'm more than happy to help you out. So you can give me a call or at 405-830-0743 or email me at wsilberman at gmail.com. And we could talk about handing this over to someone else. I have actually lost count as to how many years I've been doing this. So it's time that someone else rises to the occasion as they say, that's all I got. Thank you. Any other division or committee updates? Thank you, Dr. Silberman, that's a good lead-in to the CME committee planning. Again, I know I had mentioned it earlier in the meeting. I come from an education background. I taught chemistry and physics prior to going to medical school. So I have seven years and a master's in science education. So to me, one of the really good contributions of this college is the educational part and the variety that we're able to learn with it and the resources of our members. I love that they've done the videos. I again would ask that the members, I think we have some great lecturers among our members. Let Rhonda, Jeffrey, and myself know. All of our emails are on the site. And if you know of especially good speakers, Dr. Silberman has been wonderful. I'll tell you, I was telling Lisa on a walk we had, that with Dr. Silberman, usually he's the first grid that gets filled in because he knows so many different aerospace people that he just lets us know, okay, boom, boom, boom. And that day is taken care of and we have really appreciated that. So if you know of good lectures, if you know of topics you would like to have discussed, for example, Jeffrey has the resource of one of his colleagues of the hospital where he's involved, that's going to give us some information on reproductive in the occupational setting. So please let us know because we are having a CME meeting in June of the committee, and then we actually have to get all of our plans into AOA early. And we are going to be collecting that like July and August. So please let us know either topics you want, recommendations you have for speakers, or if you're willing to give a talk yourself because we not only need them for Boston in October, but we will need speakers also for the spring meeting in 2023, which is probably going to be somewhere probably in the Southwest. So thank you. And that's our committee meeting. Thank you. Next, we'll have comments from Dr. Hanley. Thank you. Oh, okay. Thank you, Jeffrey. And I just want to say I'm so sorry that I couldn't physically be with you all for this meeting, but just time constraints and work and family and trying to get away, it just all may has been a bit of a challenging month, but I must say I've enjoyed being with you virtually. I think the quality of the presentations has been wonderful. And I certainly thank Dr. Wriston and the CME programming people for putting this course together. Putting together a conference is a Herculean and usually pretty thankless task. So I think they deserve a giant round of applause. If you're virtual, you can do your clapping emoji. But I think that's the most important thing that I want to say today. Being the president of this august organization has been a great experience. It's been a little bit different being president during a pandemic. What hasn't been different during this pandemic? Like I said, most of us, with the exception of Dr. Silberman, weren't alive during the Spanish flu, so we don't remember that too well. But the analogy is we're all just trying to fly an airplane while we're building it at the same time. So I think that with the guidance of Jeffrey and Rhonda and their unending support, and with great appreciation to my predecessor, Dr. Schwade, who left the college in a great place and a great position, and hopefully you're enjoying his hometown's hospitality, love the Tampa area. So I am truly disappointed that I can't be there with you in person, but I've been logging on and enjoying everything virtually and God willing, and if the creek don't rise, we'll all be together in Boston in October. So that's basically all that I have to contribute at this point. Thank you, Dr. Hanley. I am waiting for DoorDash, Jeffrey, as I'm hoping my lunch will be arriving soon. Right, I texted Dr. Birchfield, I'm sending him some kumquats. So I appreciate Dr. Hanley, we'll transition into presentation of awards. First we'd like to present Dr. Naomi Wriston with an award for her service as treasurer last year. We'd also like to thank Dr. Keith Proctor for being treasurer of the year previously and Dr. Stu Russell, neither of them can be with us in person so we mail their plaques to them via a company called Hoops. So Dr. Hanley was a trustee before she rose to the august position of president. Dr. Day served as a trustee as well prior to becoming our secretary and Dr. Christy Ray served as our resident fellow rep last year and again they will mail their plaques. Dr. Joseph Zell we sent him a plaque because he was a resident fellow rep prior to rejoining us after a year in abstention and also the faculty fellow committee graciously bestowed upon Rhonda a plaque of appreciation and the way this was presented to her is I kind of handed her a plaque and said I think there's typos on this one and she rolled her eyes and then looked at it and then started blushing so I think we got her good and Rhonda I love you. Thank you all so much it's unexpected to me noticed when you're in the office all day and it's really it was really appreciated thank you so much. You're welcome Marissa she loves you too. Well I love you. All right yeah so then we we mailed so we're three years behind on this and I just didn't feel like we could delay any further so we went ahead and mailed our two previous past presidents Dr. Sherrill and Dr. Hunter Gabbo plaque and at this time I'd like to welcome Dr. Shwayne to receive his. You might have to pinch that a little bit. Yeah. All right, and special thanks. We always ask the outgoing officers and trustees how would they like to receive recognition. Can we give them the option of a plaque, or a gift card, or snow crabs, and are the option to donate the proceeds back to the college. So Dr. Falchicitis and Fatman-Dix served a three-year term as at-large trustees. We really appreciate it. They're going to continue to serve both the college and the certifying boards and other roles. But thank you all so much. Dr. Schuchare served as the division chair for several years of occupational medicine. Dr. Schuchare, if you're on board, we really appreciate it. I, in the spirit of full disclosure, I did this late last night. So if there was any other officers or trustees that serve that are not on here, I apologize. I was trying to do it out of memory. So I may have inadvertently left anybody out. Also, if we fail to recognize you for service at the college, please let us know and we'll make that right. Slipped the guy at the black store at 20, and he agreed to backdate some of these blacks. So next, I'll call up Dr. Kim. Thank you, Jeffrey. Saturday, Thursday night, we had sort of an unofficial awards presentation based on the faculty and fellow committee. And it wasn't really the way we normally do things, but we put this off because of COVID for two or maybe three years. And I think Charles Wirtz is maybe on the call. He had put in his paperwork a year or two ago, and we process it, and we're just looking for a time to present it. And finally, we just broke down and did it Thursday night. So it wasn't the way we like to do it, but at least we got it done. And hopefully next year, we'll go back to the way it used to be. Having been the chair of this committee for a number of years, I really, I don't know if people can see that when I do the presentations. And usually I have Howard there too, and we kind of share it a little bit, but I truly honestly love doing the presentations because we come together as fellows. And to go down the list or the table and look at the people who are fellows of this college, it's really almost a who's who of the profession. It just really, I'm just honored to be able to even say I'm included in that group. So this year, it's not necessarily, these are the people that came up before the committee this year, but these are the people that we're finally able to award. So as you can see, I received the appointment as assistant professor, Charles got the appointment as associate professor. And then we had two new fellows, Chris Bellen, who is our treasurer, finally got awarded his fellow certificate medallion. And then we also this year decided, or it came before the committee and we have bestowed honorary fellow status on Jeffrey. So that was a kind of a unique and great thing. And then, yeah, Mary says she's a boss, so I think that's well worth it. And since, as Mary said, Warren can recall the days of the Spanish flu, we decided he was probably deserving of a distinguished fellow. So he's received that. And I think that was mailed out last week. So I don't know if Warren has that, maybe he can come on screen and show the medallion. No, okay. Okay, we can't do it for whatever reason. So just one last thing, I can't get away with Chris being on the line without saying, go Army, beat Navy. What? So Dr. Silverman, your plaque will be hand presented to you in Oklahoma City at a place where we can toast one another. I wanted to do it in a more personal way than sending it through the mail, but you'll get the nice distinguished fellow medallion that's the size of a small hubcap along with the presentation plaque. Dr. Bellin and Dr. Wurtz, we signed your certificates on Thursday evening, I'll put them in a nice frame and we'll send them to you upon my return to Oklahoma City. On a personal note, it's truly an honor to be going in with Dr. Bellin as a fellow. And I wanna invite all of the members to continue serving the college and giving lectures because unlike other colleges that if you pay your dues so many years, you become a fellow. Ours is purely granted based upon service to the college and to the profession. I just wanted to point out one other thing, I'm gonna take a speaker prerogative here. And I don't know if Chris can see me, but I just happened to wear my class shirt today, not by design, but just by default. So there must be, you know, karma or God will that I would have my class shirt on. And I don't know if you can see me, Chris, but I just wanted to point that out. I do, it looks awesome. I put my comment in the chat. Oh, I got you. It says, go Navy, beat Army. I'm not gonna show you because I'm a very modest fellow, but I am wearing yellow and black underwear, which are Army colors. Okay, so now that I've got that seared and I'm presenting the cranium. In any event, the membership report, as you can see of 2000, I'm sorry, 2020, 2021, and 2022, our membership hovers around 200. Unfortunately, right now we're at about 207. I'm proud that our active membership has grown sizably. I mentioned Emeritus continues to grow as well. I would love for there to be more than seven residents and students active in our association. I would really love for us to reach out to SOMA and to provide a toolkit to start creating occupational and preventive medicine interest clubs at all of our medical schools. So 2019, we had 177 members, so we're trending in the right direction. So our next meeting is in Boston, October 27th and 30th. That's, I think, somewhere in Massachusetts, if I recall. Anyway, that was a joke, bad timing. Any questions or comments? I would welcome anyone in our virtual audience. I see we've got 25 of you, so thank you very much. Dr. Shway. I would like to open a quick discussion for the next few years. Yeah, so the suggestion from Dr. Shway was to open a discussion where you'd like to have the mid-year of 2023, which will be in March, because we're trying to get back onto the spring schedule. This is horrible timing because it's during graduation season. And those of us in academia have our new residents that we're getting ready to onboard. So it's just a horrible time for us. So we had kind of selected Charlotte, but then it was pointed out that we are in Tampa, and then we'll be in Boston. So we're really wanting to go somewhere in the Southwest to be generous with folks in the Pacific time zone. Dr. Clark. Yeah, Dr. Clark mentioned to try to go to Diosco. I know there's two in Phoenix. There's one in Las Cruces. There's several in California. Also, we have to be cognizant in March, not to get too far North, because you end up with the possibility of snow. Yeah, the Incornate Word and Shannon Brooks Early Medical Center. That's a great venue to have it. The issue there is that I like to do the meeting at the med school, and there's about an acre or two walk from the little hotel there. And we had a few people that had trouble, although we provided a free shuttle service, but we had some negative comments from folks that didn't like to have to leave one building to walk to another. Jeffrey, how about Tucson? Is there a school in Tucson? I don't recall. There's an MD school, but... Well, you know, a lot of people are not smart enough to get into our DO schools. It's probably, it might be a little less expensive than going to Phoenix. Yeah. Yeah. Or we could go, you know, there's, of course, you know, you got Scottsdale, you have Phoenix. There's, it's pretty large out there, so. Yeah, and I see Chris put DFW would be great. You know, we did the one in Fort Worth, and, but, and that's, and Fort Worth is great because it's a good venue because there's all kinds of stuff downtown there, but that's up to everybody else. Yeah, so what we'll do is we'll hold our entire membership. I'm fighting with SurveyMonkey because they locked me out because I kept having to rename my computer. But once I get SurveyMonkey access, we'll certainly send out a quick survey early next week and figure out who would prefer which venue. But I don't want to tarry too long because we're getting fairly close to March, 2023 now. All right, any, any other final questions or thoughts before, before we conclude? I think we've got ourselves back on schedule. How about Austin? I like Austin. I like DFW. I don't know if it's far West enough for Dr. Kenton, though. If we go Midwest, that's fine. Okay. Now I know we're planning next year to go back to Kansas City, either in 24 or 25, because we promised them, when they were so generous and allowed us out of our attrition clause and postponed twice due to COVID, we told them that we would bring a full meeting back to them once we recovered a little bit. It's very successful. We have all of them coming to California, not that I'm recommending how, okay, fine. I just didn't know if we needed to go back to- Also, I don't like the fact that they don't prosecute the criminal. All right, that'll be- It's not a political thing, it's a safety thing. Yeah, that was an issue with Baltimore, too, if you recall. I don't want to have to worry about my raiding training. Yeah. All right. I don't want them in New York City anymore. Well, great, so thank you, Dr. Eskew. I hope that's helpful. I appreciate you putting that in the chat. There's a link to all the DO school locations. So we'll take a look and we'll send that, and obviously that's a goal. We've tried to do that quite a bit, and yet there's very little med school participation when we go to a community. So we're going to have to work a little bit about on those dynamics. I mean, there's two osteopathic med schools in the Tampa area, but they're not here. Okay, well, with that, I would love to entertain a motion, a two-fold motion, one, to accept all reports and adjourn the meeting. So moved. Second. Second, that we accept all reports and adjourn the meeting. All in favor, aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, and Dr. Hanley, I appreciate you letting me pretend I'm the president. That's been great for my ego. All right, God bless, and thank you all so much for joining. We're going to take about a five-minute break to allow everybody to get out of this Zoom room and back into the original one. Thank you. Thank you all. See you later. Great job, Gif. Thank you, sir.
