Minutes of the Committee Meeting of the Joint committee on Interprofessional
Relationships INS Seattle
02/09/93
The meeting was convened at 10:05AM with Drs. Carl Dodrill (filling in for Dr. Kenneth Adams), Eileen Fennell, Michael McCue, Malcolm McNeil and Diane Paul-Brown in attendance.
McNeil presented the attached proposed agenda” and reviewed the history of the committee, the original and evolving purposes and missions.Each were discussed at some length.
The division 40 members were presented with the two published products from the committee's previous work and some discussion ensued about whether the latest document approved by the ASHA Executive Council had been approved by anyone in Division 40.The history of the review process was presented as the current ASHA members knew it.Dr. Dodrill said that he would make sure that it was sent directly to Dr. Adams. Dr. Paul-Brown said that the document was currently in press” and that any concern by Division 40 would have to be brought forward immediately as she was unsure if it was too late for any changes or for it to be removed for the next ASHA Magazine Publication.Some discussion and clarification occurred about the structures and compositions of ASHA and Division 40 and about Division 40's relationship to the APA and INS.
The relative driving force behind the committee and the committee's current products were discussed with the apparent imbalance between ASHA and Division 40. ASHA's professionally staffed person and financial commitment to this committee was talked about as the apparent reason for the imbalance. There was discussion of Division 40's revitalized” commitment to share the burden and driving of the committee.
McNeil presented the goals of the committee as they had been formulated
at the ASHA meeting by the ASHA committee members. Division 40 members
agreed that goal #l (to continue the dialogue with neuropsychology to clarify
our unique and shared clinical roles in the delivery of patient care),
was the first order of

business and that they would need to digest the material discussed thus far and that they would need to talk among themselves and among the individuals that they represent form Division 40 before progressing with an agenda. An invitation by McNeil to meet again at this INS meeting was declined.
Potential second meeting places were discussed (INS in August in New York and ASHA in Orlando in November) but no commitments were made.
We also discussed and agreed to exchanging professional vitas for purposes of learning more about our colleagues on the committee.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 AM with a commitment from the Neuropsychologists to discuss with their respective constituencies (primarily Division 40 membership)and with their chair, Dr. Ken Adams, all that was discussed in our meeting,and formulate a proposed set of goals for the joint committee.
The following was the agenda that was presented by McNeil and most of which was discussed:
