Chromatograph 21st Annual MCF Spring Symposium / Course Registration Form Call For Palmer Award Nominations The Minnesota Chromatography Forum (MCF) presents the Palmer Award annually at the Spring Symposium. The award recognizes one individual for their contributions to the art and science of chromatography during the previous year. Past recipients have included internationally recognized chromatographers as well as long-term MCF volunteers. Many people wonder about the Palmer Award and who is eligible to receive it. This may answer some of those questions. What is the Palmer Award? How is the Palmer Award winner selected? Who can receive the award? How can I nominate someone? Minutes of the MCF 23 March 2000 Board Meeting Present: G Bailie, L Charpentier, R Ravichandran, T Robison, P Sackett, W Swanson Treasurer's Report: We've informed US Bank we're closing our account, the balance looks good. Symposium Committee Report: The preliminary brochure has been sent and abstracts are slowly flowing in. Now that Pittcon is history we should have increased activity in booth sales. Space has been increased to allow for 46 booths plus a seating area without a cost increase. Education Committee Report: A GC course will be held in November, dates have not been finalized. Beginning or advanced LC or GC courses may be offered. No plans will be made until feedback from the Symposium courses is considered. The timing of the Undergraduate Award may be shifted to encourage students to include a research project among their options as they make plans for the summer. Program Reports: A Spring quarterly meeting will be held joint with MinnMass on 3 May at Agilent's offices on Larpenteur. David Lubman will present but has not proposed a title. Website: We have 15 supporting vendors and interest from others. Since August, traffic has averaged 7.4 visits per day with an increase in recent weeks. David will announce the combo newsletter/website vendor support fee structure around Symposium time. New Business: Luke , suggested we poll the membership to determine if offering small sessions about non-chromatographic topics might be of interest. Ward will include a section on this in the member questionnaire. To avoid conflicts with finals week for members in academe, the dates of the Symposium may be shifted to an earlier time in May. The 3rd. week in May might conflict with schools having trimesters, while the 1st week in May might conflict with the U. Next Meeting: Monday, 24 April, 7:30 pm. Contact Pat Sackett for directions. |
