It was decided to send a questionnaire to the membership in the next mailing. A letter was sent out as per Board decision. This person is no longer listed as an ACVN Diplomate. E. Copyright issue Dr. Kallfelz reported that the AVMA has contacted a firm in Chicago to handle this issue. They will contact us when they know what the costs will be.
Legal council says that anybody can call themselves what they want unless that name is copywritten.
This may vary in some states. Dr. Herdt will contact Dr. Maas and then Dr. Rombeau to find out what Dr. Rombeau's expectations are as far as an honorarium. The Board supported a suggestion that we initiate contact with the American College of Animal Nutrition. The Board supported the suggestion that membership in The American Institute of Nutrition should be encouraged. Dr. Kallfelz will forward membership information to the ACVN office for inclusion in the next news letter.
