Minutes of the general meeting

Veterinary and agricultural University, Copenhagen d 20.1.2007:

1. Choice of conductor. Torben Lorentzen was selected. For referent selected GF Mette marklund
2. Chairmans report. President Christian Nolsøe explained the Board’s attempt to expand the course offer, so that it responds to the growing demand from both medical and non-medical health professional groups. Last year 11 courses were held and a Conference (with more than 200 participants). Since ultrasound scan has gradually spread to a number of different specialties, it is important to clarify some framework for how one carries out the various areas sufficiently. Course Committee’s previous President Michael Bachmann N takkedes for his actions as he withdraws from the Chair (but he remains Drs representative on the Committee). New President is Bjorn Skjoldbye. Free membership in the context of the course participation is changed, so the magazine Ultraschall first received when you paid membership fee for the first time. Activities in CADUCEIUS the auspices was reviewed. The President recalled His Henry’s Fund and CADUCEUS Fund, which is the deadline for the end of May.
3. Presentation of the audited accounts. Tri Nguyen Huu reviewed the accounts for 2006, which showed a negative asset value movement on us. 124,033 (in part due to. Exchange rate losses) and an operating deficit of $. 91,908. This fact is partially conditioned by imbalance between registered members (who receive Ultraschall, DUDS-the magazine, membership of EFSUMB) and contingent payments, how many apparently paying quota under the old tariff. This is being done in a lot of effort to get to grips with for the next budget year, inter alia. by changes in the free membership in connection with course participation (as explained under point 2). In addition, members are encouraged to check whether they pay the membership fee after the old or the new tariff. The accounts were adopted.

The financial statements of His Henry’s Fund was reviewed.
