COAA 2004 Annual Meeting Presentations

The Annual Meeting was opened with a report by COAA President, Dr. Joe Huang, on the past year’s accomplishments that included meetings sponsored by COAA and work done on updating the bylaws and developing a financial operational guideline. Dr. Huang also strongly encouraged networking and tutoring by more senior COAA members and stressed the unique position of COAA as a bridge between scientists in the U.S. and the Chinese homeland. Next, COAA Treasurer, Dr. Chung-Lin Shie, spoke about the financial operational guideline that the Board recently developed to guide spending, in particular, with regard to cosponsoring meetings with other professional organizations. The guideline in its summary form was presented and was unanimously approved by the members at the meeting. The final business of the meeting was the selection of four new Board Directors to replace the four outgoing Directors, Da-Lin Zhang, Chung-Lin Shie, Xiaofeng Li, and Colin Shen. The following four members - Long Chiu, Menglin Jin, Henry Juang, and Sarah Lu ,were nominated and unanimously approved at the meeting to serve as new Directors. The rest of day was devoted to scientific presentations. All presenters showed great care in their preparations and gave informative high quality talks. Vigorous discussions followed each talk. Three Ph.D. students, Yixiang Nie, Jun Shen and Wen Long, should be particularly congratulated for their excellent presentations. The abstracts of all speakers are given below.
