Ms. Born stated in light of the Section’s current funds, it would be difficult to participate at the 2008 Convention, even if co-sponsoring a seminar with another section. The Section voted to defer participation at the 2008 Convention with the understanding it would work to get something together with another Section for the 2009 Convention with the possibility of a national speaker. Ms. Miller stated she thought it would be best to change the wording to “plan a seminar for 2009 South Carolina Bar Convention†stating when the May letter from the Bar goes out next year, planning for the seminar will be already be well underway. The motion was seconded and there being no opposition, the first 2007-2008 goal was changed to “Plan a 2009 South Carolina Bar Convention seminar.â€

Ms. Born stated she and Ms. Miller had discussed holding another ethics-related presentation and full section business meeting the end of February 2008.

The possibility of having Dr. Sade again to speak on amendment of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act was discussed.
3. Continue to support SC DHEC in its efforts to coordinate a seminar in support of the Bench/Bar Book on Public Health
