The Section has an OMA educational and communication credit of $900.

OMA Council delegate: Chair with Sec/Treas as alternate.

Main discussion on how to increase membership from the present 25. The Section Council delegate has a VOTE thanks to the OMA "grandfathering" the Section which originally  needed 25 members to exist; 50 members now necessary to start a Section . The provision of Introductory Hypnosis courses would encourage younger doctors,who are now members of the GP Psychotherapyt section,to make Clinical Hypnosis their Primary choice of Section membership. New OMA Board regulations now permit Section Chairs to be given the email  addresses of Section members. Previously complicated as communication was made through OMA Section support staff.because of Privacy regulations.

A $10 voluntary contribution from Section members waqs recommended. This modest amount would help pay for educational Section meetings. Discussion regarding Sponsorship of the Section.

The` advantages of using MEETING ZONE recording and transcription services for historical accuracy
was recommeended if Section finances`permit. .

Next Executive meeting on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 at OMA office, from 1:30pm to approx. 2:30pm.

For the record an excellent OMA-paid buffet lunch was organised by Section support staff Ms.K.Horsley.

OMA pays for nine members to attend Section executive meetings at the OMA office every year.  Executive meetings are paid to a maximum of 3.5 hours.@ $105 an hour. 25% more for Chairs. All travel costs and travel time from anywhere in Ontario are paid by the OMA.
