Minutes of the 2004 Meeting in Washington, DC
Minutes from 2004 Meeting
S-1000 Annual Committee Meeting
CSREES Headquarters, Washington, DC
April 20-22, 2004
I. Agenda for
20 Apr 2004 was a pre-meeting open discussion by attendees from the National
Center for Manure and Animal Waste Management, many of whom are also members
of S-1000. It was not an official function of the S-1000 committee.
II. Agenda for 21-22 Apr 2004 is included
by reference (Appendix A). Deviations from that agenda were not significant.
Other than the S-1000 business meeting (see item III below), the days’ activities
were jointly administered by S-1000 and the Director of the National Center
for Manure and Animal Waste Management, Dr. Frank Humenik (NCSU). Ad
hoc committees established to coordinate Jan 2005 joint meeting of National
Center and S-1000 were a Program Committee (Humenik, Mukhtar, Nowak) and a
Local Arrangements Committee (Auvermann, Sweeten, Lacewell). Nowak presented
a proposal for the structure of that meeting which will serve as the template
for program planning.
