PLANNING AND AWARDS REVIEW COMMITTEE (PARC)
While keeping the ultimate fiduciary responsibility of the Awards Program, the Foundation Board has delegated to the Planning and Awards Review Committee (PARC) the responsibility of reviewing the various applications and recommending which are to be funded, as well as making recommendations about any alterations in the Foundation's Awards Program.
PARC is composed of eight voting members and one nonvoting member. Those selected to be voting members of PARC are selected by the AAOF BOD from recommendations originating from the AAO BOT (through both the AAO COE and AAO COSA), PARC, and from the AAOF Board itself. Individuals recommended by either council and nominated by the AAO BOT need not be members of either council. Typically, PARC members serve a maximum of two three-year terms. The Chair and Vice Chair of PARC are both determined by the AAOF BOD. The nonvoting member of PARC, who is designated the AAOF Board Liaison to PARC, is selected by the AAOF BOD from among Foundation Directors.
PARC membership 2007-2008 is Stephanos Kyrkanides (NESO/NY – Chair), Leslie Will (MASO/MA – Vice Chair), Stephen J. Lindauer (SAO/VA), Hyun-Duk Nah (MASO/PA), Emile Rosseuw (SWSO/TX), Kirt Simmons (SWSO/AR), Thomas E. Southard (MSO/IA), and Timothy Wheeler (SAO/FL). Jeffrey Cavanaugh (MSO/MO) continues to serve as Board Liaison to PARC.
Amending the Awards Program: The AAOF BOD has spent a great deal of time and energy establishing an Awards Program which is in the best interest of the specialty, its members, and the patients served. Even so, the Board welcomes the suggestions of individual AAO members, the AAO BOT, the AAO HOD, and others regarding its Awards Process.
All such suggestions (in writing, please) will be referred to PARC for their consideration and recommendations, and the AAOF BOD, as the body with the ultimate fiduciary responsibility, will make the final determination regarding any and all suggestions.
