Annual Report 1983 LUMMINI 11111M1111 111111MIN, atalla COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY Annual Report 1983 GOVERNANCE AND MAJOR AFFILIATIONS The Laboratory is governed by a 25-member Board of Trustees which meets three or four times a year. Authority to act for the Board of Trustees between meetings is vested in the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Executive Committee is composed of the Officers of the Board plus any other members who may be elected to the Executive Committee by the Board of Trustees. Additional standing and ad hoc committees are appointed by the Board of Trustees to provide guidance and advice in specific areas of the Laboratory's operations. Representation on the Board of Trustees itself is divided between community representatives and sci- entists from major research institutions. Ten such institutions are presently represented on the Board of Trustees: Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Columbia University, Duke University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York University, The Rockefel- ler University, The State University of New York at Stony Brook, University of Wisconsin, and Yale University. Institutional Trustees were brought onto the Board during the 1960s-a difficult period when the Laboratory was undergoing reorganization as an independent entity. In addition to supplying scien- tific leadership to the governing body, participating institutions also provided emergency funds to help keep the Laboratory afloat during this crucial phase of development. Although participating institu- tions now give only token financial support, their Trustees continue to help steer the course of the Laboratory's scientific and administrative policies. Also represented as participating institutions are the Wawepex Society and the Long Island Biologi- cal Association (LIBA). The Wawepex Society was formed in the mid-nineteenth century as a philan- thropic arm of the Jones family, who supported the formation of the Laboratory. LIBA's origins began in 1890 when members of the local community became involved as friends and with membership on the Board of Managers of the Biological Station in Cold Spring Harbor, under the aegis of the Brooklyn Academy of Arts and Sciences. When the Brooklyn Academy withdrew its support of the Biological Station, community leaders, in 1924, organized their own association that actually administered the Laboratory until the Laboratory's reorganization as an independent unit in 1962. Today, LIBA remains a nonprofit organization organized under the Department of Social Welfare of the State of New York and represents a growing constituency of 'friends of the Laboratory." Its 450 members support the Laboratory through annual contributions and participation in fund drives to raise money for major construction projects. The Laboratory is chartered as an educational and research institution by the Board of Regents of the Education Department of the State of New York. It is designated as a 'public charity" by the Inter- nal Revenue Service and claims special status as a school under the Internal Revenue Code. OFFICERS OF THE CORPORATION Walter H.
