Dear Colleagues,

Attached is the BOG Meeting agenda, the Health Care Reform Articles which we provided for pre-meeting preparation, and the slidesets which were shown at the September 15-16, 2007 meeting. If you did not provide a meeting evaluation form on-site, we would appreciate your doing so now.  It is located with the materials above.

Up-to-date downloadable slidesets on these topics will be provided upon request.  Please send your request with the exact slideset you desire to chapters@acc.org. 

The Inside View Video with Jack Lewin "This is Amazing!" can be found at http://www.cardiosource.com/ dated September 17, 2007. DVDs of this video for use at your Chapter meetings are available upon request.  Also available upon request are the Mark Smith and Ian Morrison videos. 

The NCDR Chapter Toolkit can be requested through Lara Slattery at lslatter@acc.org. 

And, don't forget that the deadline for filing for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Settlement Fund, for which most physicians are eligible, is October 19, 2007!  Be sure to let your members know!  The settlement amount will more than pay for their 2008 ACC dues!

Thank you all for participating in this meeting.  I thought it was an exceptional meeting, and hope you did as well.

Sincerely,
George

George P. Rodgers, M.D., F.A.C.C.

Chair, Board of Governors
