5. JLD Times
a) There was not much activity associated with
the JLD Times in 2011. The only content posted was the summaries of the
presentations from the 2010 Annual Conference and an advertisement for a
meeting in Vancouver.
b) The officers proposed that we needed a chief
editor to run the JLD Times independently from other activities in which the
officers are involved. A volunteer was solicited. (Later, Tracy Miller
volunteered and she is now the Chief Editor.)
6. 2012

presentations for the 2012 Annual Conference were recognized. The members were:

b) The JLD had seven sessions including the JLD
annual meeting in 2012 as opposed to the usual 12. This is due to the fact that
the ATA headquarters received an overwhelming number of proposals for 2012, and
to the limited number of the conference rooms available at the venue. However,
two sessions under the Science and Technology Division presented by a
designated distinguish speaker, Dr. Robert Lyon from P&G (Basic Concepts of
Pharmacology in Drug Development; Drugs of Abuse – a Pharmacological
Perspective) were also arranged by the JLD. In effect, nine sessions were
allocated to the JLD despite the competitive circumstance.
4. 2013 ATA Annual
Conference Programs
a) Many ideas were proposed by the members
present at this meeting. Later, these ideas were carefully considered by the
new committee members.
b) The committee members for the programs for
the 2013 Conference were selected:
Richard Bennett Nadine Edwards
Hiroki Fukuyama Morgan McDonald
Tracy Miller Kyoko Niwa
James Patrick Masae Sullivan
Gail Tanaka-Burns Shinichiro Tanaka
