It is with a great deal of pleasure that I announce the appointment of three (3) PRA Members to the PRA's first ever Audit Committee. This is a very important committee and the Board and Members are very fortunate to have such well qualified volunteers. The PRA Board set a policy in 2002 establishing the Audit Committee but for a number of reasons we have not been able to establish it until now. To learn more about the Audit Committee and other Policies and Procedures of the PRA, go to --> http://www.penningtonresearch.org/organization/policyproced02-1.htm . The members of the PRA Audit Committee are: Steven Kelly [ StKelly@syr.edu ] Peggy Pound [ peggy6324@aol.com ] Tom Hatcher, Ph. D. [ tomhatcher@wv.securespeed.us ] I know you all join me in wishing them well and in saying "Thanks" for serving on this important committee.
