2014 Annual Report
President’s Report
A
s I complete my first year as your ASAHP President I would like to thank you
for your support and wish you a happy and prosperous 2015. As you read
this 2014 Annual Report you will see that this has been a very productive and
significant time in the life of our Association. We have continued to make significant
progress in addressing the strategic objectives outlined in our 2013 – 2015 ASAHP
Strategic Plan but will need to start a process to revisit and revise this plan in the
year ahead. In addition, we will need to pay very close attention to continuing
changes in both the higher education landscape and the health care system
marketplace. We are especially appreciative of the efforts of our Executive Director,
John Colbert, Esq. and his colleagues at Capitol Hill Partners in not only keeping us
informed but also actively engaged in advocacy for a myriad of issues that will have
Rich Oliver, Ph.D., FASAHP
significant implications for allied health education and practice in years ahead.
Inattention to some of these issues could have long-lasting and negative effects on
all of our member institutions. The challenges imposed by state authorization is a classic example of policy with
unintended consequences and a topic that will be at the top of our list as we seek needed reforms.
Two significant achievements occurred in 2014 that will prove to be very strategic as ASAHP fulfills its mission
to improve health through excellence in education, interprofessional collaboration, leadership, research and
advocacy. The first was the creation of the Allied Health Professions PAC in response to the need to formalize
advocacy efforts using this organizational structure. Support for the PAC is growing as more of our colleagues
have come to realize the importance of getting our message and specific requests in front of key legislators.
The second major achievement was the dissolution and incorporation of the Allied Health Research Institute
(AHRI) within ASAHP. Accompanying by-laws changes were made to provide an additional voting board seat on
the ASAHP Board of Directors for a representative from the health employer/industry sector. Remaining AHRI
funds will be transferred to ASAHP to further encourage programming that focuses on issues of importance to
those who hire our graduates and who are dealing with unique challenges in the healthcare delivery
marketplace. Strategic alliances such as these will create a louder voice as we press for greater recognition of
those issues of increasing importance to both institutions of higher education and health care providers.
Looking back on 2014 we are pleased to report that our ASAHP meetings were extremely well attended and
featured some outstanding speakers, concurrent sessions and poster presentations. Our research and
strategic planning sub-committees also have a clearer focus and will be pursuing support and funding for a
wide array of initiatives. We have also experienced significant turnover in our Association’s leadership as our
board composition has changed due to office terms expiring and new individuals being elected to serve. I
offer my sincere appreciation to those who have served and to those who will begin serving our association
as they begin their term of office. Their efforts are critical to our vision of making ASAHP the leading
interprofessional voice for better health and health care.
As we look to the year ahead we will strive to build on the many accomplishments and successes of 2014 but
realize that our work is never really completed. Collectively we can continue to address the challenges that
may confront our institutions but we can also maximize the opportunities to bring greater recognition and
support to those we serve.
Best wishes and happy holidays!

2014 Annual Report

Format of the 2014 ASAHP Annual Report
P
revious editions of the Annual Report over the
last several years have used the Goals of the
Association’s Strategic Plan as a framework
for describing what occurred during each previous
12-month period. ASAHP has a new Strategic Plan,
which is in the process of being implemented.
Many aspects will remain a work in progress.
Examples of potential future initiatives appear at the
end of the section for each Goal. It also is worth
noting that as various activities unfold, it may be
necessary to create sub-committees and
chairpersons within each Goal area.
ASAHP President Richard Oliver presents the Legacy of Excellence Award to ASAHP Past President Gregory Frazer.

2014 Annual Report
Strategic Plan Goal I:
Interprofessional Education
S
trategic Plan Goal I involves: collaboration
and curriculum development; research; and
conferences.
Board Liaison: Barry Eckert, Ph.D. (Dean,
Long Island University – Brooklyn)
Chairperson: Stacy Gropack, Ph.D. (Associate
Dean, Long Island University – Brooklyn)
The Institutional Profile Survey project was
under the direction of Brenda M. Coppard,
Ph.D. (Associate Dean, School of Pharmacy &
Health Professions at Creighton
University). The study was
conducted electronically and the
findings will be reported early in
2015 using that same technology.
A total of 89 colleges and
universities furnished data in Fall
2014. Summary reports for
institutional type sub-groups
such as southern academic
health centers and for
respondents as a whole
contain the following kinds
of information: level of
educational preparation of
faculty, administrator and
faculty salaries, gender
and ethnicity, student
enrollment, clinical income, number of
clinical affiliates by program, and extramural
financial support.

Using the 2014-2015 survey results, along with
data from previous years, it will be possible to
examine trends in the various fields where
information was collected. Salaries, enrollment,
budget, grants, and faculty size lend themselves to
this level of analysis. An auto-tutorial was
developed and made available on the ASAHP
website in the summer of 2008. Many participants
in the iterations of the survey conducted since then
have reported that this new tool proves to be
immensely helpful.
2014 Annual Report
ASAHP conferences and meetings offer a venue
that is highly visible for the display of research and
scholarly posters, along with presentations in
concurrent sessions and workshops. The 2014
Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV was developed
around the theme of “Maximizing the Effective Use
of Emerging Technologies in Interprofessional
Education and Practice.” The event included 51
presentations in 15 concurrent sessions and 30
presentations at a poster session.
Keynote Addresses at the conference were
presented by Steven Wartman, President and CEO
of the Association of Academic Health
Centers, Phil Schiliro, former
White House Assistant and
Special Advisor to President
Obama, and Bruce Gans,
1 4
Executive Vice President and
Chief Medical Officer at the
Kessler Institute for
Rehabilitation.
The 2014 ASAHP Spring Meeting
held in Atlanta, GA in March
included an opportunity for
participants to discuss the
development of specific objectives to
achieve the Goals specified in the
Association’s new Strategic Plan. The
meeting’s theme was Connecting The
Dots: Higher Education Reform And
Employer Needs.
The following individuals made presentations:
Rob Williams (Senior Fellow, The Center for Ethics
and Corporate Responsibility – Georgia State
University)
Jason Zachariah (Senior Vice President, Hospital
Rehabilitation Services, RehabCare)
Anthony Disser (Senior Vice President – Clinical
Operations, Kindred Healthcare)
Bridget Piernik Yoder (University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio)

Lee Foley (Capitol Hill Partners)
Patricia M. Simone (Centers for Disease Control
& Prevention)
Patricia Chute (New York Institute of Medicine)
Robert McLaughlin (Baylor College of Medicine)
Julie O’Sullivan Maillet (Rutgers University)
The event also featured the annual Deans’
Memorial Lecture, an address created to honor a
former administrator who made significant
contributions to allied health as a whole and to
ASAHP in particular during a lengthy career. The
Lecture was presented by Lee McLean, Ph.D.
(Former Associate Dean, University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill)
Some Potential Future Activities To
Implement Goal I
➣ IPE will continue to be a theme and a
priority for all levels of presentations at
upcoming meetings.
➣ Make IPE initiatives more visible on the
ASAHP website. A tab has been added on
the website called Interprofessional
Education. It can be accessed at
http://www.asahp.org/interprofessional-
education/. It has the ASAHP position
statement on IPE and the plan is to include
more information.
➣ Create a central depository for work of the
IPE group. The ASAHP Board has been
requested to furnish support.
➣ A request was made to the Finance
Committee to fund grants for member
organizations or individual members to
develop IPE learning modules that will be
made available to the ASAHP membership
and to fund two members of ASAHP to go
to the Collaborating Across Borders
Conference (CAB V) in Virginia in
September 2015.
➣ Another initiative in the early planning
stages entails working with the Rosalind
Franklin University of Medicine and Science
to host a national IPE conference in Fall
2016.
➣ Have ASAHP added to the list of sponsors in
the IPEC program.
“The following important trends in patient care are: care is moving from a fixed setting
to wherever the patient may be, real time continuous monitoring of patients, how to
manage and operationalize big clinical data sets, the Pandora’s Box of technology and
new entrepreneurial income streams, patient empowerment, and shifting from provider
control to crowd control.”
Steven A. Wartman, MD, PhD, President/CEO, Association of Academic Health Centers at the 2014 Annual
Conference

2014 Annual Report
Strategic Plan Goal II:
Marketing, Promotion, and Growth
S
trategic Plan Goal II involves: new markets
both domestic and global; sources of nontraditional revenue; marketing campaigns; and
promotions locally and nationally.
An example of another asset is that institutions
will be able to attract out-of-state applicants because
of the national characteristics of the platform on the
Web. GPAs will be compiled by Liaison staff with
the added feature that some portions of the GPA
can be customized, such as for science and
mathematics grades only or just for grades in
biology courses.

2014 Annual Report
5
Each year, thousands of browsers around the
globe go online to inspect Journal abstracts and
many subsequently pay a fee to download articles.
ASAHP’s Journal ranks in the top 90 every month in
a survey done of 16,200 periodicals that is based
on the number of full-text downloads.
A high point was reached
when the Journal of
Allied Health was
ranked 49th in January
2014. As a means of
generating wider visibility
of this publication,
beginning with the Spring
2007 issue, one article per
issue is available on ASAHP’s
website at no charge. As a
reflection of the spread of
globalization, articles from
other countries have become
regular features. In 2014, the
Journal attracted more than 100
manuscripts.
ASAHP because of the valuable services the
Association offers.
The Association is a major sponsor of National
Allied Health Week, which is observed
during the first week of November each
year. Members use this occasion to
highlight the contributions that allied
health professionals make in the
provision of cost-effective, high quality
patient care. Increasing the visibility of
allied health in this manner provides
another means of enhancing the
Association’s membership.

Worth noting is that the total
number of manuscripts submitted is
a figure that does not provide a complete picture.
Viewed from another perspective, between July
2013 and July 2014 that total is 152, an amount that
includes revised manuscripts resubmitted on more
than one occasion, manuscripts withdrawn for
various reasons, and papers rejected without a
review. Although the bulk of the manuscripts
originated in the United States, 29% of them came
from Australia, Canada, India, Iran, Jamaica, Kuwait,
Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia,
and the United Kingdom.
The bi-weekly ASAHP UPDATE provides
Institutional Members with a steady stream of
information about the Association as well as
external items of interest such as grant
announcements, fellowship opportunities, and
legislative developments on Capitol Hill. Each issue
is disseminated electronically. Deans and directors
are in an advantageous position to share this
resource with colleagues in non-member
institutions who may find it to be of benefit to join
6
Examples of activities arranged at
member institutions include: job
fairs, blood drives, alumni panel
discussions, information booths at
student union buildings, open
houses, luncheons for high
school counselors, health
screenings, and campus
walkathons. Descriptions of what
occurred at several ASAHP member institutions,
along with photos, are placed in issues of the
newsletter TRENDS each year.
Some Potential Future Activities To
Implement Goal II
➣ Produce a membership recruitment packet
and a new member orientation kit.
➣ For the Annual Conference and Spring
Meeting, enhance inclusivity of non-deans
by offering different programs for different
groups, such as associate deans, financial
deans/directors, student affairs personnel,
and development officers.
➣ Have an annual reunion for previous
participants in the ASAHP Leadership
Development Program.
➣ Explore using a marketing consultant.
➣ Develop a one-page “Return On Investment”
for new members.
➣ Produce a tag line and elevator speech that
every member can recite.
2014 Annual Report
Strategic Plan Goal III:
Advocacy
S
trategic Plan Goal III involves:
Congressional activities pertaining to higher
education; national and local advocacy; and
creation of an allied health political action
committee (PAC)
Talbott (University of South Alabama) and
Gregory Frazer (Duquesne University).
The 2014 ASAHP Spring Meeting was held in
Atlanta, GA on March 20-21. The theme for this
event was Connecting The Dots: Higher Education
Reform And Employer Needs. Among the many
features of the meeting, there was an opportunity
to hear the views of key leaders from: the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
health industry groups, such as RehabCare and
Kindred Care.
Board Liaison: Shelley Mishoe, Ph.D. (Dean,
Old Dominion University)
Chairperson: Lisa Saladin, Ph.D. (Dean,
Medical University of South Carolina)
When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act became law in 2010, it contained key provisions
involving loan forgiveness,
recruitment/retention programs, and a
mid-life career training program that
are aimed specifically at allied health.
Provisions affecting area health
education centers and geriatric
training have been expanded to
include allied health among the
entities that are eligible to
participate. The Association will
continue its efforts to have
these aspects of the law
implemented effectively.
Lee Foley of Capitol Hill partners discussed
prospects for higher education reform and its
potential impact on allied health education.
Rob Williams from the Center
for Ethics and Corporate
Responsibility at Georgia
State University offered
valuable advice on leadership
and teaming in the context of
Interprofessional Education. A
presentation on Models of
Payment for Clinical Education:
Early Survey Results, which
involved an investigation of models
of payment by ASAHP institutions to
clinical education sites or preceptors
for 15 health profession disciplines,
was presented by Robert
McLaughlin, Patricia Chute, and
Julie O’Sullivan Maillet.

Another issue of
considerable importance to
ASAHP member
institutions is state
authorization. Unless
current provisions are changed,
schools that place their students in clinical
sites in other states and offer online education
programs to students residing in those locales are
at risk of paying exorbitant fees for these privileges.
Ongoing discussions with key officials in the
legislative and executive branches occur about this
potential problem.
An Allied Health Professions Political Action
Committee (PAC) has been formed. It is completely
independent from ASAHP. Coordinators are
Association Immediate Past Presidents Richard
2014 Annual Report
The Association’s web site is the
source of much valuable information. A
centrally placed item that attracts browsers is what
formerly was called “News Across The Professions,”
but now is included in the redesigned homepage
under the heading “ASAHP Newswire.” Unique in
that it covers a broad swath of events taking place
both in health care and higher education, on a daily
basis descriptions are prepared and links are
provided to new reports, funding opportunities,
official pronouncements, and other material of
7
interest that originates in government agencies,
think tanks, foundations, and research institutes
around the world.
These items have the potential to be used with
legislators and other governmental policymakers as
a means of highlighting the types of essential allied
health services being provided in their
congressional districts and states.
Some Potential Future Activities To
Implement Goal III
➣ Plan to have more regular meetings in
Washington, D.C. and coordinate “Day on
8
the Hill” events in conjunction with these
meetings.
➣ Host special “access” events with targeted
congressional/senate leaders.
➣ Plan an event to bring department
chairpersons to ASAHP to encourage them
to have other associations in which they
hold membership to support ASAHP policy
initiatives.
➣ Develop fact sheets to advance the allied
health policy narrative.
2014 Annual Report
Strategic Plan Goal IV:
Innovations and New Services Development
S
trategic Plan Goal IV involves: aggregating
new member services; faculty and leadership
development; and influencing allied health of
the future.
Board Liaison: Linda Petrosino, Ph.D.
(Interim Provost and Vice President for Educational
Affairs, Ithaca College)
Chairperson: Kenneth Johnson, Ph.D.
(Associate Dean, Weber State University)
The growth and nurtuance of a robust research
agenda lies at the heart of the allied health
enterprise. ASAHP President Richard E. Oliver,
Ph.D., also served as the President and Founder of
the Allied Health Research Institute (AHRI), a nonprofit organization comprised of employers,
academia, and other members. During the Awards
Dinner at the Association’s 2014 Annual
Conference, a merger agreement between ASAHP
and the AHRI was signed by President Oliver and
Health South’s Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer Mark Tarr. Funds from AHRI will transfer
after all paperwork is completed and they will be
used for speakers and related activities that connect
corporate and academic partners.
The Allied Health Centralized Application Service
(AHCAS) that was described in the section under
Goal II represents a new service that should appeal
to prospective students at ASAHP member
institutions and to the personnel involved in
processing student applications for admission.
Currently focused on three kinds of allied health
programs (respiratory care; radiologic and imaging
sciences; and clinical/medical laboratory science),
there is a possibility of expanding to include other
professions that have programs, which are not
currently part of a centralized application system.
Members of ASAHP’s Clinical Education Task
have been involved in efforts to investigate current
trends, outcome measurements, technology and
training, and other aspects of clinical education
pertinent to student competency, certification, and
entry into the workforce. As a result of these
2014 Annual Report
initiatives, the possibility exists to broaden the
programmatic scope of both the Association’s
Annual Conference and its Spring Meeting to
explore what new services could be developed by
ASAHP for the benefit of its members.
From 1998 until 2005, with partial funding by the
Bureau of Health Professions, ASAHP conducted a
Leadership Development Program in conjunction
with the National Network of Health Career
Programs in Two-Year Colleges, the Health
Professions Network, the National Society of Allied
Health, and the American Association of
Community Colleges.
Subsequently, over a more recent eight-year
period, ASAHP has offered five more focused
Leadership Development Programs aimed at
individuals from member institutions who became
deans at some time in the previous 24-months,
associate/assistant deans, and department
chairpersons. Spread over two sessions that
coincide with the Association’s Annual Conference
and Spring Meeting, the next iteration of the
program is scheduled for presentation in 2016.
Plans are underway to have the Spring Meeting that
year in Washington, DC as a means of advancing
ASAHP’s influence in the health and education
policy realms.
Some Potential Future Activities To
Implement Goal IV
➣ Create ASAHP student chapters and the
development of some preboarding/onboarding training, with the latter
focusing on how students can leave
academic programs and go right to work
without extensive orientation at their work
place.
➣ Conduct a survey some key employers of
graduates of member institutions to
determine what can be done to ensure that
students represent a good fit with what
these companies expect of new employees.

2014 Annual Report
Strategic Plan Goal V:
Alliances and Partnerships
S
trategic Plan Goal V involves: creating
relationships with professional and nonprofessional allied health organizations.
Board Liaison: Peggy Valentine, Ed.D. (Dean,
Winston-Salem State University)
Chairperson: David Ward, Ph.D. (Dean,
Armstrong Atlantic State University)
ASAHP became a partner in 2012 in the Institute
of Medicine (IOM) Global Forum on Innovation in
Health Professional Education. The Association is
a sponsor of this three-year endeavor and President
Richard Talbott, Ph.D. serves as the ASAHP
representative.
The purpose of the Forum is to engage key
organizations in discussions that will illuminate
contemporary issues in health professional
education and create an ongoing, innovative
mechanism to incubate and review new ideas.
Forum members include representatives of U.S and
foreign government agencies, health professional
associations, foundations, international
nongovernmental organizations, and industry.
Association members continued to be actively
involved with the Association of Specialized &
Professional Accreditors (ASPA). ASAHP President
Richard E. Talbott, Ph.D. (Dean, University of
South Alabama) and ASAHP Board Member Barry
S. Eckert, Ph.D. (Dean, Long Island University –
Brooklyn) have played an active role in this
endeavor. ASAHP is a breakfast sponsor. Important
discussions occur at these events regarding
accreditation issues that might be changed from
ASAHP’s perspective to accommodate more
opportunities for interprofessional education and
practice. Dean Eckert also made a presentation at
the meeting in 2014 on the topic of
interprofessional education from both ASAHP’s
point of view and what is occurring at his university.
President Talbott attended the Health Professions
Network (HPN) Spring 2014 Meeting in Chicago.
He was elected to the HPN Board of Directors for a
term that becomes effective in January 2015.
2014 Annual Report
ASAHP Board Member Peggy Valentine, Ed.D.
(Dean, Winston-Salem State University), was
appointed to serve on the Advisory Committee on
Interdisciplinary, Community-Based Linkages at the
Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA). One task of the Committee is to submit
annual reports to Congress and the President. Over
the years, several ASAHP members have been
appointed to this group. During 2014, she was
selected as Vice Chairperson.
The following individuals served as ASAHP
representatives on the CAAHEP (Commission on
Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs)
in 2013:
Hugh Bonner, Ph.D. (SUNY Upstate Medical
University)
Barry Eckert, Ph.D. (Long Island University –
Brooklyn) – also served as Treasurer
Julie O’Sullivan Maillet, Ph.D. (Rutgers
University)
David Shelledy, Ph.D. (University of Texas
Health Science Center at San Antonio)
Yasmen Simonian, Ph.D. (Weber State
University) – also served as a Board Member
In other activities involving accreditation, Shane
Keene, DHSc, Director of the Respiratory Care
Program at the University of Cincinnati, served as
ASAHP’s representative on the Commission on
Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) and
Dean Hugh Bonner was ASAHP’s representative to
the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical
Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS).
Kenneth Johnson, Ph.D. (Associate Dean,
Weber State University) continued his involvement
with the Association for Prevention Teaching and
Research (APTR) on its Healthy People Curriculum
Taskforce in 2014. Current projects include
updating the Clinical Prevention and Population
Health Curriculum Framework and creating the
Interprofessional Education Crosswalk that links the
Framework with various core competencies for
interprofessional education.
11
Health professionals from other countries
routinely make presentations at ASAHP Annual
Conferences. Also, members of the Consortium of
Institutes for Higher Education in Health and
Rehabilitation in Europe (COHEHRE) have been
among the contributors of articles in the
Association’s Journal of Allied Health.
Some Potential Future Activities To
Implement Goal V
➣ Become a member of the Interprofessional
Education Collaborative (IPEC).
➣ Form partnerships for curricula, faculty, and
creation of economies of scale.
➣ Align with governmental organizations,
regional education boards, and patient
organizations.
➣ Examine state authorization of distance
education, licensure across state lines, and
scope of practice issues.
➣ Focus on the cost of education and the
availability of clinical sites.
➣ Provide a greater understanding of what the
allied professions can contribute to the
Affordable Care Act.
“Higher education is in love with the health professions and views this as a high demand
student market that must be included in an institution’s degree offerings, especially as
many colleges and universities step-up their student recruitment efforts. While this may
be a good institutional strategy, program proliferation places added burdens on the
already strained health professions education sector. Furthermore, the crystal ball is
extremely cloudy when one tries to get accurate projections as to which allied health
disciplines will remain in high demand especially as our health care system continues
to look for increased efficiencies.”
ASAHP President Richard E. Oliver, Ph.D.

Program
Each year, the Association sponsors the Scholarship of Excellence Program for allied health
students enrolled in its member institutions. The purpose is to recognize outstanding
individuals who excel in their academic programs and have significant potential to assume
future leadership roles in the allied health professions. Each student chosen for an award
receives a $1,000 scholarship.
In 2014, ASAHP gave scholarships to 12 students. Five of these awards were provided by
the firm of CertifiedBackground.com, a company that offers criminal background check
and immunization status check services to member institutions. The year 2013 marked the
inauguration of the Elwood Scholar Award. It was created by the Board of Directors and
named for ASAHP’s long-serving Executive Director Thomas W. Elwood who retired
from that position in 2012.
The recipient in 2014 was Samantha Leigh Caldwell – University of North Carolina
Greensboro, a student in genetic counseling. Along with the scholarship, she received a
complimentary registration to the 2014 ASAHP Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV where
she was formally recognized as the award recipient.

2014 Annual Report
Treasurer’s Report
A
s I prepare my last Treasurer’s Report, I wanted to thank each of you for
your support and encouragement. I have been continually impressed by
the personal investment and commitment all of us make to our Association
and I am reminded of our grand purpose to support our students, faculty,
institutions and ultimately the patients and clients they will encounter. The
financial history and challenge our Association faced twenty years ago and the
collective effort of the leadership, the executive director and considerable sweat
equity of our membership to address these fiscal exigencies are not unique to
non-profit organizations, but the fact that we have not only survived but thrived
is a testament to the membership! That perspective pervades all of our activities
and the lesson was simple yet clear: our financial standing matters. I have had
the privilege of serving in this role with other organizations and in a leadership
Gregory H. Frazer, Ph.D.
role at a private, tuition-dependent institution. As I shared last year, my approach
has been based on transparency and has embraced the “Buffett philosophy” (and
this does not refer to a food line): “Rule No. 1 : Never lose money. Rule No. 2 : Never forget Rule No. 1.” –
The Tao of Warren Buffett, 2006.
The agenda of our Association was the most aggressive it has been in recent memory. Not only have we
renegotiated our agreement with Capital Hill Partners, the leadership re-engineered the Association’s
Strategic Plan, identifying five critical areas for action. The Board has charged each of these strategic groups
with the identification of action steps and the generation of the resources necessary to enable success. Your
Association continues to cultivate and expand critical relationships with significant partners such as the
Institute of Medicine, Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors, The National Network of 2-year
Colleges and Schools, the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, the Health
Professions Network, among others. We continue to reap the benefits of Capitol Hill Partners, who have
been instrumental in placing the interests of our Association before members of Congress. Each of these
friend-building endeavors required an expenditure of time and treasure. Because of prudent stewardship by
your Board and the Executive Director, all of these activities enhanced our national image and visibility and
were completed within budget.
With that in mind, the state of the Association’s financial standing is strong. President Richard Oliver,
Immediate Past President Richard Talbott, President-Elect Linda Petrosino, and your Board of Directors have
embraced a deliberate, due-diligent approach to allocation and spending. The prime directive is and will
remain for the foreseeable future the continued financial stability of our Association. The Finance Committee
Investment Review with representatives from Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, our Association investments
(which are divided into four categories: American Funds, Small Cap Funds, Pimco Fixed Income, and
Reserves/Cash) valued our investments at just over $1,100,000. Our current asset allocation is 61% “equities”,
34% “fixed income” and 5% “cash”. The Board has endorsed a gradual investment allocation of 60%
“Equities” and 40% “Fixed Income” which will require timely and tactical internal reallocation. We now have
a 16-page investment policy to guide our decision-making and provide further safeguards ensuring prudent
financial management, thanks to Past President Talbott.
Our total return to date net of fees was 3.15%, with our “equity” investments returning 3.98% and our
“fixed income” investments generating 3.35%. Although our realized return might appear smaller than
anticipated, it is incumbent to be mindful of the investment strategy of the Board which embraces low-risk,
moderate return, minimal loss allocations. This is best evidenced by action taken during the last fiscal year
2014 Annual Report
19
where your Board endorsed investing $103,000 in “Market Linked Investments”. The unique aspect of this
type of investment is that upon maturity, the minimum return of the original investment is guaranteed
regardless of the change in valuation of the S&P Index. Of equal significance is the transfer of approximately
$388,000 from PIMCO Fixed Income accounts to accounts under the management of Loomis Sayles. The
investments will be similar, but the focus of Loomis Sayles is on corporate insurers as opposed to PIMCO’s
emphasis on agencies and mortgages backed. The Finance Committee has continued to embrace a strategy
for reserve generation and maintenance which ensures that our Association could continue to function for a
calendar year absent any additional income or accounts receivable.
As A.A. Latimer stated, “Budget: a mathematical confirmation of your suspicions.” Our general operating
budget of approximately $845,500 has been consistent for the past two years. The Finance Committee in
partnership with the Executive Director John Colbert has been relatively “spot-on” in anticipated revenue and
expenditure allocations. This resulted in a third year in a row with no dues increase. Charles Haddon
Spurgeon stated: “Economy is half the battle of life; it is not so hard to earn money as to spend it well.” Your
Association is well positioned to enter FY 2015 in a strong, stable, and focused manner in support of our
vision to be the leading interprofessional voice for better health and healthcare. I trust that our colleague
Kevin Rudeen will continue the fiscal stewardship and oversight begun with Randall Lambrecht and Susan
Hanrahan to ensure the financial viability of our Association long into the future. Kevin can rest assured of
my support of his efforts in the coming years and as always, I stand available to answer any questions at your
convenience.
Respectfully submitted,
Gregory Frazer, Ph.D., FASAHP
