Brazeau The minutes of the Council of Deans Business Meeting at the July 2014 Annual Meeting were posted on the AACP Website under Governance/Council of Deans and have been published in AJPE Volume 78 Issue 9, Article S17. Report of the Immediate Past Chair on the Board of Directors Activities--M. Lynn Crismon COD Immediate Past Chair provided the following summary of the February 2015 meeting of the AACP Board of Directors. * The Board of Directors has met twice since the July 2014 meeting including a meeting here in Austin last Friday. * The Association's financial health is strong despite volatility in the equity markets and a decrease in applicants and applications through PharmCAS. Our auditors returned a clean and timely audit for fiscal year 2014. * The Association's launch of a serious education game for interprofessional learning is continuing at this time. Participants at this meeting are encouraged to spend time at this meeting at the Professions Quest display in the foyer to meet the staff and learn more about the game and its launch. This company is a wholly owned subsidiary of AACP. Discussions with potential equity partners are underway with colleague associations in the interprofessional arena. * With the release of Standards 2016, the association will be developing version 2.0 of the Assessment and Accreditation Management System (AAMS). We anticipate that this new system will be launched in September for those needing to complete the first comprehensive self-studies for fall 2016. Those programs with accreditation visits scheduled through spring 2016 will continue to have access to the original system. * The Board met briefly on Friday with staff members from ACPE to discuss the new standards. While the Board finds improvements in Standards 2016, the Board sought information regarding the requirement to use NABP's PCOA and remains unconvinced that imposing the use of the knowledge test as a mandate is justifiable in this era of competency-based education. The Board will be launching the process of identifying a new ACPE Director from AACP later this spring to select an individual in November to serve from July 2016 to June 2022. * The Board's strategic planning committee has initiated a new planning process that will extend through this year and result in a new plan in 2016. More information will be provided about the process and opportunities to provide input later in this meeting. * AACP has received an increasing number of reports from members to form new special interest groups. The requests were tabled in October. It is important to maintain opportunities for member involvement and engagement as a priority for AACP and the strategic planning committee is examining whether the current structure is the best approach or if there are other ways to enhance member connectivity, access to information, identify member's areas of expertise and to enable the member's database to be searched for these areas. …
