The Corporate Associates Program provided $ 115,000 to the Society in the Thirty-fifth year. This is an important source of revenue and the continuing support of those corporations was appreciated. There were 16 Regional Chapters and 13 Specialty Sections this year. Council agreed that membership in a Regional Chapter did not require that one reside in that geographical area. Discussions were begun regarding a European Regional Chapter but the issue was dropped for lack of strong support. A Regional Chapter in western New York State, tentatively titled the Lake Ontario Chapter was in formation. Additional Specialty Sections were also under consideration including one in the area of pharmacology. The Toxicology Education Foundation moved to a sounder financial position. The first Board meeting of the Foundation in two years was held and the Board began a review and revision of the Bylaws, including the mission statement. The Board agreed that a better focus for its efforts was needed and the K-12 science program seemed the best choice. The Society contributed $ 100,000 from IUTOX VII meeting profits to the Foundation. The Board of Publications continued to be concerned about relations with Academic Press. These concerns centered on electronic publishing expenses and revenues; need for additional pages; editorial office expenses and manuscript processing statistics. The Society’s newer journal, FAAT, was likely to undergo a transformation and a development plan was under review. The Society’s Awards Program, managed by the Awards Committee and chaired by Past President Meryl Karol, continued to evolve. The requirement for the Achievement Award was revised again to note that the award recognizes achievement within 15 years (as of the time of the award) of the candidate’s receipt of his or her highest earned degree. The Awards Ceremony this year was held on Thursday evening, March 14 immediately following an Awards Lecture and preceding the Closing Night Reception. The Awards Lecture honored the 25 th anniversary of the Ames Bacterial Mutagenicity Test and the 20 th anniversary of the Williams DNA Repair Test. Both innovators spoke of the development of their tests, the mechanistic basis and the applications. The Board of Publications Best Paper Award for FAAT went to Bruce C. Allen, Robert J. Kavlock, Carole A. Kimmel and Elaine M. Faustman for their paper “Dose-Response Assessment for Developmental Toxicity - III Statistical Models” published in “Fundamental and Applied Toxicology” 23: 496-509 (1994). The award for TAP went to T. A. Slotkin, C. Lau, E. C. McCook, S. E. Lappi and F. J. Seidler for their paper titled “Glucocorticoids Enhance Intracellular Signaling via Adenylate Cyclase at Three Distinct Loci in the Fetus: A Mechanism for Heterologous Teratogenic Sensitization? published in “Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology” 127: 64-75 (1994). The Education Award was made to Robert Snyder of the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute for his contributions to education in toxicology. The Achievement Award for significant contributions to the field by a younger member of the Society was made to Kenneth Ramos of Texas A & M University. The Arnold Lehman Award acknowledges the use of sound scientific principles in the regulatory process. The awardee this year was John F. Rosen of Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The Public
Communications Award was given for only the third time this year. It recognizes an individual who has made a major contribution over a significant period of time to broadening public awareness of toxicological issues through some aspect of public communication. The award was made to Bruce N. Ames of the University of California, Berkeley. The Society’s most honored award is the Merit Award given in recognition of a distinguished career in toxicology. The 1996 award was given to Gabriel L. Plaa of the University of Montreal. In addition, the Society granted 35 minority student awards, 6 minority advisor awards, 85 graduate student travel awards, 5 graduate student fellowships, 4 Colgate-Palmolive visiting Lectureships and made the Zeneca Traveling Awards to James P. Kehrer of the University of Texas College of Pharmacy and Rick G. Schnellmann of University of Arkansas Medical Sciences. The Awards Committee also recommended that Council consider two new awards. One would be an international merit award and the other an innovation award. Council took no action on this recommendation during the Thirty-fifth year. The Council of the Society met in May, July, September and November of 1995 and January and March of 1996 to manage the day-to-day operations of SOT. Council proposed and the membership approved amendments to the Bylaws which increased the number of members of the continuing Education committee from six to nine; changed the requirements for dues payments which include journal subscriptions, allowed a one year grace period for nonpayment of dues and expanded the description of the Regulatory Affairs and Legislative Assistance Committee. Council approved Dr. Sten Orrenius of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden and Dr. Dennis Parke of the University of Surrey in Guildford, England for Honorary Membership in SOT. The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) approached SOT with an offer for the Society to become one of the constituent organizations of FASEB, which includes, among others, the pharmacology society from among whose members SOT was formed in 1961. Council declined the offer to join FASEB. Council approved a oneyear contract with Capitol Associates, a public relations firm, to provide information on key topics for further dissemination to members. The issues of greatest interest for Capitol Associates to track were the Delaney Clause, Risk Assessment, Superfund and Research and Training Funding. The Council for the Thirty-fifth year of the Society of Toxicology consisted of President Jack H. Dean, Vice President James S. Bus, Vice President-Elect R. Michael McClain, Treasurer Mary E. Davis, Secretary Jay I. Goodman, Secretary-Elect David L. Eaton, Past President Meryl H. Karol and Councilors Debra L. Laskin and James A. Swenberg (1994-1996) and Carole A. Kimmel and H. B. Matthews (1995-1997). Shawn Douglas Lopez of the management firm Association Development Group (ADG) was named as Executive Director. The Society revised its e-mail address to sothq@toxicology.com.
