The Executive Committee reaffirmed the earlier motion as a motion was made by Paul Biederman and seconded by Dave Alter to approve the Coordinator of Education position consistent with the recommendations contained in the Task Force’s report on a volunteer basis, for a two-year trial period. The motion passed with one abstention. In response to comments made at the Board of Governors meeting related to the volume of work being requested of the Coordinator of Education position, a motion was made by Paul Biederman and seconded by Bob Deutsch to appoint a Co-Coordinator of Education on a volunteer basis, for a two-year trial period. The motion failed with two voting in favor, nine voting against and one abstaining. The Executive Committee raised questions related to any bylaw implications that the creation of a Coordinator of Education position may raise based upon the proposed job duties. A motion was made by Joe Zastrow and seconded by Paul Biederman instructing the Bylaws

24

Committee to review the Coordinator of Education position and its effects on the ASCH Bylaws. The committee is to report back to the Executive Committee in October. The motion passed with one abstention. The Executive Committee discussed for some time whether the position could be more “oversight” related or more “coordinating” in nature; and what checks and balances were in place to ensure activities were in compliance with ASCH policy. In the society’s longstanding tradition of transparency and open communications a motion was made by Elgan Baker and seconded by George Glaser to publish a call for nominations from the general membership for the Coordinator of Education position. Nominations will close thirty days after the announcement has been made and the Executive Committee will meet in six weeks to select a Coordinator of Education based upon the nominations received. The motion passed. The Executive Committee will hold a conference call on May 1, 2011 to review nominations and appoint a Coordinator of Education. Student Scholarship Program The ASCH-ERF Board of Trustees had asked the Executive Committee to investigate a Student Scholarship program. A motion was made by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke and seconded by George Glaser to form a Task Force to develop and institute a student scholarship program. The motion passed. The Task Force will be chaired by Cheryl Beighle. Hammond Reimbursement The Executive Committee determined that, due to his efforts to prepare and video record online modules to be used at future ASCH training events during the 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops, Cory Hammond should receive an official commendation from the society. A motion was made by Paul Biederman and seconded by David Alter to send a letter of commendation to Cory Hammond for his time and efforts with video recordings for future ASCH workshops. In addition, he shall be reimbursed for two room nights at the 2011 Annual Meeting and Scientific Workshops, up to the ASCH room rate. The motion passed.

Conference Call

Kasper, PhD, CAE; Executive Vice President CCAALLLL TTOO OORRDDEERR The meeting was called to order at 11:05 a.m. CDT on Sunday, May 1, 2011. All recorded votes were unanimous unless otherwise noted. JOURNAL DESIGN One of the benefits of working with Taylor & Francis on the production of the Journal is that they have expertise to help to redesign the cover and general size. Their production department, while praising what we had been creating, wants to make improvements. Modern journals in social science are larger than the AJCH has been. Rather than being 6 by 9 inches, the new form factor will be 7 by 10 inches. This size is not only up to modern standards, it is less expensive to create. The production department also provided ASCH with several versions of the new Journal cover, and then George Glaser prepared an additional option.

27

A motion was made by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke and seconded by Dan Kohen to accept Steve Lankton’s recommendations in regard to the new Journal cover (the one marked George’s) as well as the recommendations for the new size and font for the Journal. The motion passed. LEGAL COSTS TO REVIEW ETHICS DISCLAIMERS At the March 3-4, 2011 Executive Committee meeting, Tom Nagy, PhD, ASCH/SCEH Ethics Committee Chair, presented revised copies of the “ASCH/SCEH Guidelines for Electronic Recordings of Hypnosis for One’s Own Clients and Patients” and ASCH/SCEH Guidelines for Electronic Recordings of Hypnosis For Public Consumption” disclaimers. At that time, the Executive Committee was informed that the documents were reviewed by the ASCH attorneys. However, the documents were not reviewed by a malpractice attorney. Dr. Nagy was asked to obtain a quote from a malpractice attorney and report back to the ASCH Executive Committee and SCEH Executive Council. Tom Nagy presented a quote from a malpractice attorney to ASCH & SCEH leadership in an email on April 14, 2011. Mr. Frankel estimated that that it would take between 2-3 hours, at a rate of $300 per hour. It is possible that it could take more than that, if ASCH/SCEH started drafting new language for part of the ethics code pertaining to the training of lay hypnotists. With an understanding that ASCH and SCEH would split 50:50 the costs of such a review, and in an attempt to anticipate a little overage in case other questions arose during the review, a motion was made by Dan Kohen and seconded by Jane Parsons-Fein to authorize up to a $600 expenditure for the purpose of conducting a legal review by attorney Steve Frankel of the 2 disclaimers for electronic recordings of hypnosis prepared by the ASCH Ethics Committee. The motion passed. COORDINATOR OF EDUCATION In March of 2011 ASCH issued a Call for Nominations for the position of Coordinator of Education to ASCH members. ASCH received three nominations by the deadline of April 14, 2011. The Executive Committee reviewed the submissions of the 3 candidates for the position at this meeting. All were considered fine candidates with various strengths and weaknesses. A motion was made by Paul Biederman and seconded by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke to conduct the vote for the candidates in an anonymous way using an on-line polling system. The motion passed with 1 negative vote and 1 abstention.

28

It was noted that if no one candidate received a majority of the votes cast on the first ballot, the person receiving the least number of votes would be dropped from the slate and the remaining two would be voted on again. A vote was held to appoint the new Education Coordinator position approved by the Board of Governors in March of 2011. Thomas W. Wall, PhD, ABPP, ABPH received the majority of the votes cast on the first ballot. By acclimation the meeting adjourned at 1:34 p.m.

AASSCCHH OOFFFFIICCEERR//CCOOMMMMIITTTTEEEE RREEPPOORRTTSS President’s Report Dr. Anbar reported that it has been a year of introspection and that the EC had devoted much time to the educational mission of ASCH. Dr. Anbar expressed his gratitude to the members of the EC and the staff of Solutions for Associations, Inc. (SFA) for their hard work and dedication to ASCH. Special acknowledgement was also bestowed upon Julie Linden, PhD, the Chair of the Standards of Training Task Force, and the members of the Task Force, David Wark, PhD; Max Shapiro, PhD; and Cory Hammond, PhD Accreditation Committee Report The Accreditation Committee presented a synopsis of their activities, including a status update on the outstanding Fellowship nominees and recommendations to the categories used to judge nominee applications. A motion was made by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke and seconded by Paul Biederman to:

1. have the Accreditation Committee prepare a report on the criteria they use, and the process invoked, to choose Fellows.

2. prepare a policy detailing when, and how, the committee follows up with nominees.

The motion passed.

Ad Hoc Contract Subcommittee Report - Management Report John Kasper, SFA President, reported that it has been a busy time. SFA staff has been working on many different projects in addition to their normal daily activities. The EC commended SFA and staff for all their hard work and commitment to seeing that ASCH excels. ASCH-ERF JESC Contract When the EC reviewed the Joint Education Steering Committee (JESC) contract in 2010, it amended Article 2, Section 2.01. That amendment broadened the language pertaining to committee membership. The new section read:

The Joint Education Steering Committee shall be comprised of a representative of ASCH-ERF, the ASCH President, regional workshop chair(s) and single representatives from medicine, psychology, and social work. In addition, annually, before February 1, the incoming President of ASCH, in consultation with the incoming Chairman of ASCH-ERF, shall designate up to three additional members of JESC to represent other health care disciplines that are part of the ASCH constituency, for which specific ASCH educational programming is under development.

34

However, language identifying the JESC Chairs was inadvertently deleted from that section. The original wording pertaining to the Committee Chairs read:

The Joint Education Steering Committee shall be co-chaired by the ASCH Education Committee Chair and the ASCH-ERF appointed representative for Continuing Education Accreditations.

The EC was asked to vote and amend Article 2, Section 2.01 of the contract to insert the above wording back into the section. A motion was made by Daniel Kohen and seconded by Paul Biederman to approve the language to re-install the JESC chairs language in the JESC contract. The motion passed. That wording would then need to be adopted by the ASCH-ERF Board of Trustees in March of 2012. Awards Committee The Awards Committee recommended to the EC that Daniel Kohen, MD, receive the William C. Wester, III Award for excellence and contributions to the field of pediatric hypnosis and that Eric Spiegel, PhD, receive the Early Career Achievement Award. A motion was made by Joe Zastrow and seconded by George Glaser to accept the recommendations of the Award Committee. The motion passed with one abstention. Bylaws Committee Report The EC reviewed the Bylaws Committee report which commented upon potential changes to the ASCH Bylaws resulting from the institution of a Coordinator of Education. Changes to the Bylaws are not immediately needed and the EC thanked the committee for their report and work on the matter. Distance Learning Task Force George Glaser, MSW, DAHB, Distance Learning Task Force Chair, provided an overview of the ongoing activities of the Task Force. Mr. Glaser informed the EC that the Task Force is planning one more presentation before the March Annual Meeting. Education Committee Report The EC reviewed the Education Committee report and was informed that in matters of using the revised Standards of Training versus the old Standards, the Education Committee was using the revised Standards when applicable. The EC discussed the date and process for the implementation of the new SoT guidelines and increase in hours during the Standards of Training Task Force report. The EC did not finalize a plan or process to implement the Approved Consultant 10 hour workshop requirement, and it will discuss the implementation plan during its January Conference Call. Regarding the approval of the new certification requirements, the EC asked that the total amount of hours be presented to the EC for consideration.

35

In regard to the Education Committee request to update LCD projectors for regional workshops, the EC asked George Glaser to research LCD projectors and how they best interact with Mac computers and to give his report to the EC in March. In regard to the Education Committee request to expand the budget for faculty at Regional Workshops, the EC asked that the Education Committee prepare recommendations and a budget on how to best reward the efforts of local people teaching small groups, e.g, not having the local person stay at the hotel, but perhaps allowing them to go to the rest of the workshop gratis. Due to the very reasonable rates of holding conference calls through the SFA service, the EC was supportive of the Education Committee holding a conference call prior to February of 2012. The Education Committee suggested that the 2012 October Regional Workshop be canceled due to a lack of faculty availability to run the Regional Workshop. This was posited because of the ISH Annual Meeting in Bremen, Germany, at that same time. EC Tom Wall and Ran Anbar volunteered to co-chair the October Regional Workshop in 2012. Ethics Committee Report The Ethics Committee asked the EC to review all pertinent ASCH documentation to verify the requirement that ASCH members must always maintain currently active membership in their primary professional association as a prerequisite for ASCH membership. The Ethics Committee stated that this was one of the two ways ASCH can enforce ethical conduct; the other is relying upon the state licensing board in the state where the member practices. The EC reaffirmed its position that they follow the ASCH Bylaws in matters pertaining to members and their eligibility for active membership in their primary professional association. A motion was made by Daniel Kohen and seconded by George Glaser to recommend to the Board of Governors that the Code of Conduct be amended to read the same as the ASCH Bylaws regarding ASCH members being eligible for membership in their primary professional association. The motion passed with one abstention. Literature Review Task Force Report A motion was made by George Glaser and seconded by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke to accept the recommended entries to the ASCH Bibliography as proposed by the Literature Review Task Force and that the Literature Review Task Force review Bill Wester’s book. The motion passed with one abstention. Mentorship Task Force The Mentorship Task Force presented its plan to develop a program to encourage new members to develop ties to the ASCH community and provide a forum that allows new members to develop their skills in hypnosis and facilitate their learning. Those included creating a listserv, to give people a sense of belonging. There was a strong sense that creating a good mentorship program required the involvement/commitment of faculty, especially at the Basic and Intermediate levels. It was

36

suggested that a good place to begin the development of a base group of possible mentors was to identify anyone who had taught at a Basic and Intermediate level in the last 3 years and perhaps recruit them to be mentors. A motion was made by Cheryl Beighle and seconded by Paul Biederman to accept the Mentorship Task Force report and to ask the Education Coordinator how to best implement the mentorship program beginning at the 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops Cheryl Beighle and Bob Deutsch would work with the Education Coordinator as necessary. EC The motion passed. The EC thanked Cheryl Beighle, Bob Deutsch and Jane Parsons-Fein for their hard work in developing a Mentorship program. The EC is excited to see the plan put into place. Pain Management Workgroup Dave Alter, PhD, Chair, reported via Skype, that the Workgroup has held discussions to work on outreach with Pain Management groups. At this time the Workgroup is not prepared to provide any further follow-up information. The Workgroup expressed an interest in developing on-line educational opportunities relating to pain management and will explore any potential overlap between the Workgroup’s efforts and those of the Distance Learning Task Force. Pediatric Workgroup The EC undertook a discussion regarding the confusion of the Workgroups goals and mission. In light of the discussion regarding this confusion and other instances in which some confusion had occurred, the EC suggested that a manual for committees/task forces be developed in which the duties and responsibilities of Chairs is discussed. Staff will work with the President to develop the material. . Standards of Training Committee Report The EC reviewed the Standards of Training Committee report and discussed the importance of committee chairs working appropriately with their committee members. The EC urged that open lines of communication be available between committee chairs and committee members. The discussion included the question of whether any EC members had discussed with the Chair the recommendations in the report regarding committee members. It was suggested that it was important to follow-up with the Chair to provide the feedback from the EC discussion. A motion was made by Paul Biederman and seconded by Cheryl Beighle to accept the Standards of Training Committee report as information. The motion passed with two abstentions. Standards of Training Task Force Report The EC reviewed the SoT Task Force report and expressed its understanding of the status of the progress towards implementing the new Standards of Training:

37

(1) as part of the review process for the new standards, the EC was informed that the Education Coordinator and the Primary Reviewer had not signed off on the new standards at the time of the EC meeting; (2) ensuring that the on-line modules meet accreditation criteria was still in progress; (3) the EC understood that Dr. Sugarman was developing a medical curriculum for the Task Force and others to review, and the ECwould like to see that curriculum once developed; (4) concerning the literature review, it was still required to identify what in the literature ASCH does not deal with and how ASCH would deal with those issues if we did; (5) practice gaps from the survey still needed to be identified. A motion was made by Paul Biederman and seconded by Cheryl Beighle that the Task Force provide a progress report to the EC in March of 2012; that the EC should approve a final version of the standards which met all the above criteria by October of 2012; and the implementation of the new standards would begin in January of 2013. The motion passed. Moving forward, the Standards of Training Task Force will be renamed as the Guideline Review Task Force. Scholarship Task Force The Scholarship Task Force reviewed their report to the EC to develop a program that encourages new members and students to attend ASCH educational events. The EC is very excited to reinstitute a scholarship program and encouraged every member to donate money to the scholarship fund. Some ideas included including a line on the dues invoice and providing an envelope at the annual dinner to donate money with some incentives for those donating the most. A discussion of what to call the scholarship fund occurred. The EC was reminded that the Mutter Fund still existed, but that donations had not kept up with disbursements. A motion was made by Cheryl Beighle and seconded by Bob Deutsch to charge the Scholarship Task Force with exploring the criteria for scholarship eligibility and how ASCH will select and disburse funds for the 2012 Annual Scientific Meetings & Workshops. The motion passed. The Task Force is asked to report on their progress in January 2012. Task Force on Special Interest Groups The EC reviewed the Task Force on Special Interest Groups (SIGs) report to explore the pros and cons of the possibility of formation of SIGs and their possible relationship to ASCH.

38

It was suggested to the EC that a classification of the respondents would be useful in analyzing data from a proposed survey contained in the report. The Task Force Chair agreed. A motion was made by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke and seconded by Paul Biederman that the EC accept the Special Interest Group Task Force survey. The survey will be sent to the membership by January 1, 2012 and closed on January 31, 2012. The Task Force is to report back to the EC by March of 2012. The motion passed. AANNNNUUAALL SSCCIIEENNTTIIFFIICC MMEEEETTIINNGG AANNDD WWOORRKKSSHHOOPPSS 2012 Program Committee Report Joe Zastrow provided a summary of the program for the 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting & Workshops. The Program Committee requested that the EC discuss whether or not the banquet ticket cost should be: (1) increased to cover the actual costs of the food and beverage, (2) incorporated into the registration fee so that everyone can attend the banquet if they so wish much, like the Saturday Welcome Reception, or (3) not hold the banquet. EC discussions led to the consensus to scale back the Awards Banquet to a reception, and to provide the awards at the Sunday lunch. The passing of the gavel will be on Monday evening at the reception. 2012 Meeting Registration Fees The EC discussed the registration fee structure for the 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops and a motion was made by Cheryl Beighle and seconded by George Glaser to adopt the fee structure presented by staff for the 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops. The motion passed with one abstention. 2013 ASCH Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops Site Location In September the EC was asked to review site bids and select a host venue for the 2013 Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops. The EC voted via a doodle poll and a motion was made by George Glaser and seconded by Reinhild Drager-Muenke to ratify the EC’s electronic selection of Louisville to host the 2013 ASCH Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops. The motion passed. TTRREEAASSUURREERR’’SS RREEPPOORRTT Audit Report for fiscal year 2010-2011 Pat Melvin and Matt Osiol, the ASCH Auditors from Desmond & Ahern, LTD, provided an overview of the ASCH audit for the 2010-2011 Fiscal Year. Mr. Melvin reported that the audit went well and that the management company’s accounting practices were good. The auditors asked that the Executive Vice President review bank reconciliations and initial and date the reconciliation as evidence that the reviews are being completed in a timely manner. In addition, the auditors informed the EC that there are checks which have been outstanding in excess of a year, and several that have been outstanding in excess of five years. The auditors recommend that they be reviewed to determine that they represent actual liabilities to the Society and the Society should make an effort to inform the holders of uncashed checks over ninety days old of their existence. The EC asked staff to contact the recipients of uncashed checks. Staff

39

noted that these individuals had all been contacted previously, but that staff would follow-up with them again. Mr. Melvin also indicated that a net equity goal of $300,000 would allow the society the opportunity to take programming risks that, if they fail, would not hamper the society’s ability to operate. Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Overall, in the last fiscal year, ASCH experienced income of $814,991.87; total expenses of $816,143.98; and a net income of $-1,152.11. ASCH was budgeted to produce an overall net income of $12,143.03 during the year. The actual performance produces an overall negative variance from budget of $13,295.14 for the fiscal year. Overall, revenues were 103.4% of budget for this fiscal year, and expenses were at 105.3%. ASCH Staff, Board Members and Committee Chairs worked diligently together to reduce expenses and curtail non-essential spending during FY2010-11. The primary concern headed into next fiscal year remains the society’s cash flow and continuing efforts to curb the additional expenses associated with holding ASCH educational events. Special focus and attention will be given to increasing revenue within the existing income framework for FY2011-12. Fiscal Year Financial Report through September 30, 2011 Overall, in the current fiscal year to date, ASCH has experienced income of $489,836.51; total expenses of $153,722.93; and a Net Ordinary Income of $336,113.58. ASCH was budgeted to produce an overall net ordinary income of $190,642.98 during this period. The actual performance produces an overall positive variance from budget of $145,470.60. Overall, revenues were 128.6% of budget for the fiscal year, and expenses were at 62.0%. SSTTRRAATTEEGGIICC PPLLAANNNNIINNGG && EEXXEECCUUTTIIVVEE CCOOMMMMIITTTTEEEE WWOORRKKGGRROOUUPPSS Report from the Coordinator of Education Tom Wall, PhD, ABPP, ABPH, ASCH Coordinator of Education, presented his report to the EC in person on Friday, October 28, 2011. The Education Coordinator and the EC discussed several issues related to the Coordinator of Education position and the overall educational structure of ASCH. On the morning of Saturday, October 29, 2011 the EC discussed Dr. Wall’s report without Dr. Wall, and then invited Dr. Wall into the discussion mid-morning. As a result of the discussion, the EC proposed a trial structure for the ASCH educational programming (see appendix 1).

40

A motion was made by Cheryl Beighle and seconded by Daniel Kohen that the ASCH educational program structure, as proposed, be instituted on a trial basis with a progress report being given to the EC by the President in March 2012. The motion passed with one abstention. It was reported to the EC that the President will continue to appoint the Vice-Chairs in this trial committee structure and the President will meet every two months with the Coordinator of Education , Education Committee Chair and Vice-Chairs to discuss the trial structure and its impact on ASCH education. In addition to the proposed structure, a motion was made by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke and seconded by Cheryl Beighle that the President explore the combining of the Journal literature review, the Standards of Training Literature Review and the Literature Review Task Force into one committee that would fall under the proposed structure. The motion passed. The Coordinator of Education and the EC felt that ASCH should have a committee manual for each education-related committee that would explain the processes that each committee is to accomplish and detail the functions of how to carry them out. A motion was made by Paul Biederman and seconded by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke that the Education Coordinator oversee the creation and standardization of an education-related committee manual book for each committee/task force having educationally-related responsibilities in the society. The motion passed. In addition, a motion was made by Daniel Kohen and seconded by Reinhild Draeger-Muenke that asks SFA to create a committee survey to be sent in December 2011 to assess the needs of committee members. The motion passed. Feedback garnered from the survey is to be given to the President-Elect before June 2012. The Coordinator of Education also reported that ASCH should be incorporating staff in all educational committee meetings, either in person, or by phone/Skype, to develop the ongoing record of discussions and decisions. The Coordinator of Education and the EC agreed that having staff participate on conference calls would: (1) lead to better coordination amongst the various committees; (2) provide important input into committee/task force deliberations; and (3) allow a record of each committee and task force to be developed and archived as committees and task forces change membership over time.

Post-Annual Meeting – Certification Workshop The issue of holding the “Teaching and Consultation Workshop” 10 hour workshop as part of a pre- or post- Annual Meeting session was discussed. The EC felt that it was best that the first workshop, which is being held in March 2012, be held and studied before making a determination about when to hold it in the future. The EC asked that a question be placed on the attendee survey this March asking if registrants would have attended the workshop if it were held at a Regional Workshop.

recurrent, should current approved consultants nonetheless be grandfathered?

An implementation date would be voted upon at the March Executive Committee meeting. PROGRESS REPORT – NASW UPDATE In December, the Coordinator of Education and staff held a conference call with a representative of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) to discuss changes
