Click here for a summary from the Annual Voting Member Meeting held June 19, 2025 in beautiful Monterey, California.
Dr. Dolgin gave a brief report of the activities from last year. This included total contributions of $133,575 and $137,225 in Tuition Assistance grants for students, residents, and early practicing physicians to attend courses as well as conferences. All the specifics of each grant and the organizations granted are outlined in the Annual Report.
He continued that he was very pleased with OCA’s progress with their financial reconciliations, and looked forward to funding their remaining 2025 courses and others going forward.
Dr. Feely presented the Nominating Committee’s recommendations for the Board of Director’s vacancies: Dr. Reed as a Physician Director for a 5 year term, (filling Dr. Feely’s vacancy, as he had termed out); Mrs. Caldwell Munsinger as a Non-Physician Director for a 3 Year Term; and the addition (filling an existing vacancy) of Mr. Brian T. Benoit, an experienced and accomplished financial advisor and wealth manager, as a Non-Physician Director at Large for a 3 year term. The Board elected Dr. Reed as Treasurer for a 2-year term.
The Voting Members at the meeting were happy to approve the nominating committee’s officer’s recommendations. They welcomed Mr. Benoit to the Board, and everyone was thrilled to have Dr. Reed return as Treasurer. Dr. Feely was thanked for his excellent contributions during his 10 years of service on the Board during his recent 2 terms.
