The Secretary welcomed everyone and briefed them on the events. Firstly seven members of the society attended the ECCEO-9 conference at Greece in lieu of the cancelled meeting at Bangkok. Two members attended the World Wide Patient Societies Conference. The secretary also informed that our society conducted Bone Densitometry tests for over 250 Senior Citizens of Vasant Kunj and held camps for Bone Densitometry at Sri Fort Auditorium, New Delhi on Women’s Day, in March 2009 and at Lady Irwin College, New Delhi in April 2009.

The secretary briefed that our society has brought out a new book (FIX IT BEFORE IT BREAKS MOVE IT OR LOSE IT- Exercise to preserve and protect your bones) which was duly released on 16TH June 2009 at AIIMS New Delhi. He also briefed the executive about an offer from Mr. Dan Navid Ex-CEO of IOF who has now taken over as CEO of Osteoporosis Fracture Line (name since changed to FFN) to associate with them for their activities in India.  This point was discussed and agreed by the executive committee.  The secretary then requested the Honorary CEO to give out his report.

The Honorary CEO clarified the doubts about the balance sheet which was then approved. He also gave the status of the society regarding change of Address and other amendments made in the Memorandum of Articles and Association. These have been approved by the registrar of societies and banks. We are now ready with all paper work to apply for exemptions of Income tax with the concerned department. The CEO also gave out the present status of funds.   

Dr. Manoj Chadha who conducted the Bone Densitometry Course at Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai gave report on conduct of the course. He was very happy with conduct of course except that the number of participants was not up to the mark. He also said that the faculty was impressed by the attendees. It was therefore, proposed to opt for the same course next year where we will give more publicity for better attendance.

It was unanimously decided to make recommendations to the general body for the reconstitution of executive committee. It was decided to replace Dr. Arvind Chopra and Dr. K M Prasanna by Dr. Sushil Gupta and Dr. Dinesh Dhanwal, rest of the members remaining same. This committee will hold office for the next two years.

The Vice President expressed a desire that we should make an honest effort to  try and enhance the membership list by opening a rheuomology and nutrition wing on the lines of the orthopedic initiative. He also suggested that we should have a scientific wing too. This point was agreed and to and all present were requested to use their clout and influence to enhance the membership of the society so that in future we can have our annual meetings, independent of ESICON. It was also, decided to hold the next ISBMR meeting at New Delhi on 13-14th August 2010.

Personal request by the president   Dr. Ambrish Mithal then requested the executive committee to be relieved of the active responsibities of the president. He however, said that he will keep taking care of the International relationship of the society as well as help in fund rasing for the activities. After lots of discussions, his request was accepted. The executive then made a recommendation to take this request to the general body as also to select a new president whose tenure will be for two years. Dr. Ambrish Mithal’s new title was approved to be The Chief Advisor.

With appreciation for the work done by the outgoing executive committee and the President, the meeting was declared as closed.
