COMMITTEES 1031 10321. COMMITTEE GUIDELINES AND POLICIES 1033 1034Introduction: These guidelines are intended to provide guidance for committee members and 1035chairs. Their purpose is to clarify responsibilities and to assist in meeting commitments to the 1036Society and its membership. Individuals are carefully chosen and voluntarily agree to serve. A 1037committee appointment carries a responsibility to colleagues. A professional organization can 1038only function effectively if its members participate actively. If this responsibility cannot be met, 1039then another member should be given the opportunity to participate. 1040 1041Committee Structure: Standing committees generally consist of at least three members, one of 1042whom serves as a chair. However, each committee will have the number of appointees necessary 1043to dispense its responsibilities 89 Page 2 of 37 90 Section 10 91 1044 1045Board Liaison: Should a non-Board member chair a committee a member of the Board of 1046Directors will be appointed by the President to serve as a consultant to each committee, serving 1047in an advisory and liaison capacity to facilitate communication between the Board and the 1048Committee. The liaison should be appraised of all committee activity on an ongoing basis, 1049invited to committee meetings when appropriate, and be provided a written report to distribute to 1050the Board at least fifteen days before each meeting of the Board of Directors. 1051 1052Selection of Committee Members: Except where otherwise specified in the bylaws the 1053Incoming President, as President-Elect, shall nominate standing committees and chairs. 1054Committee appointments become effective when the President-Elect becomes President. 1055Selections for committee membership arise in several ways. Recommendations may come from 1056members of the Board of Directors, Nominating Committee deliberations and from present and 1057past Board members. Members are also encouraged to volunteer their names for consideration, 1058for many times their interest might otherwise be unknown or overlooked. Geographic 1059distribution may be taken into consideration in making committee appointments; however, in the 1060final analysis, judgments regarding capability, experience and commitment are the ultimate 1061criteria for committee assignment. 1062 1063Committee Member Terms: Except where otherwise specified herein, the same individual 1064may serve as chair of a given committee for a maximum of three (3) consecutive years. An 1065individual after having served the maximum number of consecutive committee terms shall not be 1066eligible to serve again on that committee for four years. 1067 1068Chair Responsibility: The performance of a committee is usually a reflection of the leadership 1069provided by its chair. The chair has all the responsibilities of an individual committee member 1070with the further obligation of obtaining maximum participation from others on the committee. 1071This involves maintaining active communication with committee members as well as actively 1072seeking or grooming a successor to the chair. 1073 1074Annual Charge: Each committee will receive from the President at the initiation of his/her term 1075a “charge” or charter listing the goals, objectives and responsibilities of the committee for the 1076coming year. The committee will do its best to address these responsibilities and goals 1077throughout the year. In its final report to the Board at the end of the year, the committee will 1078respond to each item in its charge. 1079Quarterly Board Reports: The chair of each committee shall prepare a written report for the 1080Board prior to each quarterly board meeting. The report shall include a summary of the 1081committee’s activities for the preceding quarter. Any recommendations requiring action by the 1082Board should be noted clearly in the report and phrased as a motion where possible. The Board 1083liaison member to the committee should be completely informed on any issues requiring action 1084by the Board in order to present the committee’s viewpoint and represent the committee’s 1085knowledge before Board deliberations. 1086 1087The quarterly Board report shall be submitted to the Executive Director at least fifteen days prior 1088to the Board meeting for distribution. 1089 1090Annual Board Report: The chair of each committee shall prepare a written year-end report to 1091the Board at the final quarterly Board meeting. The report shall comment upon the disposition of 92 Page 3 of 37 93 Section 10 94 1092its charge by the President as well as chronicle its activities during the year. It should comment 1093on all subjects considered by the committee and embody such resolutions and recommendations 1094as deemed appropriate. It should indicate the direction and activities the current committee 1095suggests for the following year and include a budget request, along with justification, for the 1096following year. 1097 1098Committee Records: The chair of each committee will be responsible for maintaining the 1099Record Book of the committee during the year. The Record Book should contain not only all 1100committee reports to the Board, but all correspondence and other materials as may be helpful to 1101future committees.

Speakers and speaker topics will be selected by the Annual 1572Meeting Chair with input from the Annual Meeting Committee. 1573 1574The Vice President is responsible for the final program of the upcoming Annual Meeting and 1575acts as meeting chair. S/he should enter his/her office with a preliminary program in place and 1576present the program and a proposed budget to the Board for review and approval at the first 1577quarterly board meeting of his/her tenure of office. 1578 1579The Annual Meeting Chair and Committee will utilize the services of a comprehensive meeting 1580planner for planning and execution. 1581 1582The meeting is traditionally held in the spring, usually in March or April, taking into account 1583other potentially conflicting meetings and courses, holidays, school schedules, weather and 1584hotel/resort availability. 1585 1586The Annual Meeting traditionally begins on Thursday evening and ends on Sunday. 1587 1588The meeting site is traditionally alternated between the North and South, although this is not requ 1589ired by bylaws or Board policy. The meeting may be held outside of California periodically to fa 1590cilitate participation of other components of District VI. 1591 1592The President of CSPD will notify other State Units in District VI of our Annual Meetings and in 1593vite them to have their members attend. 1594 1595The Annual Meeting Chair will present the financial report of the Annual Meeting at the first 1596quarterly board meeting following the meeting. 1597 131 Page 1 of 37 132 Section 10 133 1598Registration: The Annual Scientific Session is open to all members upon payment of the 1599appropriate registration fee. 1600 1601Postdoctoral student members are invited to attend all educational and social functions and the 1602business meeting.

In addition, a 1647member or non-member who has given extraordinary time or effort on behalf of the Society may 1648be recognized by the granting of the CSPD President’s Special Recognition Award. Such 1649awards will be made following nomination and a favorable vote by the Board at any of its 1650regular meetings. The President’s Special Recognition Award is given at the discretion of the 1651President and may not be a yearly award. 1652 1653The Executive Director shall be responsible for preparing and providing these awards at the 1654Annual Session. 1655 1656 16572. FINANCIAL POLICIES 1658 1659Budget: Board policy dictates that the Annual Meeting and Scientific Session is intended as a 1660significant membership benefit and to raise funds for the Society. 1661 1662The Vice President shall prepare a preliminary budget for the Annual Meeting, to be presented to 1663the Board at the June Board meeting. 1664The registration fee will not include sporting events or tours. These events, if any, will be paid 1665for separately by those participating. The registration fee may cover social events, including the 1666reception, meals, and coffee breaks. 1667 1668The Finance Committee will review the Annual Meeting budget prior to the January board 1669meeting. 1670 1671In preparing the budget for the Annual Meeting, certain expenses must be taken into account: 1672 1673Pediatric Postdoctoral Students: Postdoctoral student members may attend the Annual 1674Meeting. An Annual Meeting registration fee will be charged to pediatric postdoctoral students 1675for the program presentation costs as determined by the Annual Meeting Chair. In exchange for 1676completing assigned duties during the Annual Meeting students will receive tickets to the social 1677events, (receptions, final night gala, etc.) Students will be asked to pay a non-refundable student 1678registration fee which will include the Welcome reception, all breakfasts, breaks, and Installation 1679Lunch. This applies only for California and District VI post-doctoral residents. 1680 1681Non Pediatric Postdoctoral Students: Non-pediatric postdoctoral students will not have their 1682attendance at the Annual Meeting underwritten by CSPD and must pay the pre-determined non- 1683refundable student registration fee. 1684 1685Predoctoral Students: Predoctoral dental students are invited to register for the Annual 1686Meeting. An Annual Meeting registration fee will be charged to predoctoral students for the 1687program presentation costs as determined by the Annual Meeting Chair. Registration will 1688include admittance to scientific programs and exhibitor room. Students must pre-register and 1689gain approval by their respective pediatric dental chairperson. 1690 1691Executive Director: The costs associated with the Executive Director at the Annual Meeting 1692will be paid by the CSPD Operating Account. 1693 137 Page 3 of 37 138 Section 10 139 1694Annual Meeting Funds: All funds received as income to the Annual Meeting, including, but 1695not limited to, registration, subsidies, grants or sponsorships will be deposited in the CSPD 1696Operating Account. 1697 1698Table Clinics: Any CSPD member, predoctoral or postdoctoral student attending the Annual 1699Session is eligible to submit a table clinic proposal for presentation. Individuals wishing to 1700display table clinics at the Annual Session shall have their projects reviewed and evaluated 1701according to criteria established by Annual Meeting Committee prior to acceptance for display at 1702the meeting. 1703With the Annual Session registration packets will be a call for table clinics, publication of 1704applicable deadlines, and a request for submission of the following information for the selection 1705process: 1706 1. Presenter(s’) name(s) 1707 2. Corresponding presenter’s contact information (phone, address, e-mail) 1708 3. Presenter(s’) affiliation 1709 4. Abstract or description of presentation 1710 5. Display requirements: table (size), poster only, electrical 1711 1712Information submitted electronically is preferable and may be required for ease of dissemination 1713to the review group. 1714 1715A predoctoral or postdoctoral student presenting a table clinic, unlike a regular member, receives 1716an appropriate honorarium to help defer expenses in presenting that table clinic. This amount is 1717to be determined each year by the meeting chair. 1718 1719The review of the table clinic submissions will be by a group of up to 3 individuals, one of whom 1720sits on the Annual Meeting Committee. This can be done electronically for expediency. 1721Selection of table clinics will be based upon: 1722 1. The appropriateness scientific soundness of the presentation 1723 2. The space available for table clinics at the meeting (in consultation with meeting 1724 planner) 1725Corresponding presenters will be notified as to acceptance or rejection of table clinic. 1726 1727Exhibitors: The meeting chair has the authority to accept commercial exhibitors at the Annual 1728Meeting, taking into account such factors as available space, suitability of material for 1729professional membership presentation, and compatibility with the scientific session content. 1730Exhibitor fees, as determined by the Non Dues Revenue Committee with input from the AM 1731Chair and Annual Meeting Committee, entitles the sponsor to exhibit space at the meeting, 1732invitation to designated social functions, recognition and acknowledgement in the Bulletin during 1733the subsequent 12 month period, and recognition and acknowledgement in the annual 1734Membership Directory. All income from the exhibitors is allocated to the Annual Session 1735budget. 1736 1737American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry: The meeting chair shall invite the President Elect 1738of the AAPD to attend the Annual Meeting and to address the membership at a time deemed 1739appropriate.

Any 1765complimentary accommodations provided by the hotel/resort will be utilized for the Executive 1766Director or to “trade” for other hotel services, such as upgrades for the President’s room or as 1767part of the speaker honorarium. 1768 1769Registration Fee: The registration fee is a “package” which includes admission to all 1770educational aspects of the meeting as well as to designated meals and social functions.

Registered members may purchase additional guest tickets to 1773designated social functions as available. 1774 1775Members are encouraged to pre-register for the meeting. On-site registration will be available as 1776space allows and it is recommended that the on-site registration fee be greater than the pre- 1777registration fee. This will allow for more accurate program and function planning for the chair 1778and hotel personnel. 1779 1780Refunds: Refunds for advance registration will not be honored unless requested prior to the first 1781day of the meeting.

A contract 1791detailing the speaker’s needs and compensation shall be prepared. These arrangements shall be 1792subject to Board approval of the Annual Session budget. 1793 1794As a general policy, Society members shall not be compensated for their participation in the 1795scientific program. Exceptions to this policy may be made at the discretion of the meeting chair, 1796subject to Board approval of the Annual Session budget. 1797 1798Report to the Board: The Meeting Chair will provide a final financial statement of the Annual 1799Meeting prior to the next board meeting.

The Executive Director shall have the authority to sign the contract. All contracts will 1808be approved by the Board. 1809 1810 18114. SITE SELECTION 1812 1813Guidelines for Site Selection: The site of the Annual Meeting is traditionally alternated 1814between the North and the South, although this is not required by bylaws and the site may be out 1815of the state. However, the policy of North-South alteration has proven to be a wise one and the 1816Board should carefully consider before deviating from this tradition. 1817 1818The Site Selection Subcommittee is given wide latitude in site selection. There is no policy 1819regarding city versus resort location. Overall desirability of the site including cost, access, social 1820and sport facilities, meeting facilities, and nearby attractions for spouses and family members 1821should all be considered, with the objective of producing a meeting that will benefit the greatest 1822number of members.
146 Page 6 of 37 147 Section 10 148 149 1823 1824SECTION X. BUDGET AND FINANCES 1825 1826 18271. FINANCIAL PHILOSOPHY 1828 1829It is the duty of the Board of Directors to maintain the financial solvency of the Society. There 1830should be sufficient planning to include all reasonable expenses and contingencies within the 1831annual budget and the society should expend funds within the budgetary limitations as 1832established annually by the Board. 1833 1834The only acceptable exceptions to this policy will be in areas of unexpected activity not 1835predictable in advance. In a case where spending will significantly exceed a budget line item (or 1836a budget line item does not exist), it is the duty of the Treasurer to notify the Board and to obtain 1837approval for such expenditure prior to the incurrence of the expense or disbursement of funds.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY 2438 2439The California Society of Pediatric Dentistry (CSPD) is committed to providing a work 2440environment that is free from discrimination. In keeping with this commitment, we maintain a 191 Page 8 of 37 192 Section 10 193 2441strict policy prohibiting any kind of unlawful harassment or discrimination, including, but not 2442limited to, racial, sexual, ethnic, handicap, age or religious harassment. This policy also 2443prohibits any verbal, physical, and visual harassment. 2444 2445The definition of sexual harassment includes: (1) quid pro quo sexual harassment where 2446employment or continuing employment is based on the granting of a sexual favor; (2) the 2447creation of a hostile work environment such that a volunteer or contracted staff member feels 2448coerced or intimidated. A hostile work environment can be created by words and/or actions. 2449Words or actions are considered unlawful sexual harassment if, among other things, they are (1) 2450sexual in nature and (2) unwelcome. 2451 2452Examples of sexually harassing conduct include: 2453 a. Unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances or propositions 2454 b. Verbal abuse of a sexual nature 2455 c. Graphic verbal comments about an individual’s body 2456 d. Sexually degrading words or gestures 2457 e. The display in the workplace of sexually suggestive objects or pictures 2458 2459Examples of other types of harassment include: 2460 a. Nicknames pertaining to any ethnic, religious, or age characteristics or stereotypes 2461 b. Racial, ethnic, age or religious jokes 2462 c. Signs, magazines, e-mails or bulletin board notices that are found offensive by a 2463 protected minority. 2464 d. Use of any racial slurs 2465 2466Any CSPD volunteer or contracted employee who believes he/she has been harassed by a co- 2467worker, supervisor, client or agent of this organization should promptly report the facts of the 2468incident or incidents and the names of the individuals involved to the President, the Executive 2469Director (ED), or to any member of the Board of Directors with whom they feel most 2470comfortable. 2471 2472Board members should report all complaints of harassment to the President to ensure that they 2473are resolved promptly and effectively. The President, ED or an outside party will investigate the 2474complaint and the complainant will be advised of the findings and conclusions. 2475 2476All actions taken to resolve complaints of harassment through internal investigations shall be 2477conducted as confidentially as possible and practical. Any volunteer or contracted staff who is 2478found, after appropriate investigation, to have engaged in harassment of another member will be 2479subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Volunteers or contracted 2480employees who utilize the complaint procedure outlined in this policy will not be retaliated 2481against and will not have their relationship with CSPD adversely affected by making such a 2482complaint. 2483 2484If you have any questions concerning this policy, please feel free to contact the President or ED. 2485 2486Adoption and Amendment Dates: March, 2009 2487Sunset Review Date 2488 194 Page 9 of 37 195 Section 10 196 2489 24909. ANTITRUST AVOIDANCE 2491 2492Because associations are vehicles for bringing competitors together and conduits for moving 2493information among competitors, we are closely scrutinized for violations of antitrust laws. This 2494unique exposure to antitrust scrutiny dictates that the California Society of Pediatric Dentistry 2495(CSPD) should take steps to minimize the danger of becoming involved in antitrust 2496investigations or litigation. 2497 2498It shall be the policy of CSPD to be in strict compliance with all Federal and State antitrust laws, 2499rules and regulations. 2500 2501Therefore: 2502 I. These policies apply to all membership, board, committee and other meetings sponsored 2503 by CSPD. 2504 II. Discussions of prices or price levels are prohibited. In addition, no discussion is 2505 permitted of any elements of a company’s operations which might influence price such 2506 as: 2507 a. Cost of operations, supplies, labor or services 2508 b. Allowance for discounts 2509 c. Terms of sale including credit arrangements 2510 d. Profit margins and mark ups provided this limitation shall not extend to discussions 2511 of methods of operation, maintenance, and similar matters in which cost or efficiency 2512 is merely incidental. 2513 III. It is a violation of antitrust laws to agree not to compete; therefore, discussions of 2514 division of territories or customers or limitations on the nature of business carried on or 2515 products sold are not permitted. 2516 IV. Boycotts in any form are unlawful. Any discussion relating to boycott is prohibited 2517 including discussions about blacklisting or unfavorable reports about particular 2518 companies including their financial situation. 2519 V. It is CSPD’s policy that any meeting attended by representatives of CSPD where 2520 discussion can border on an area of antitrust sensitivity, that the association’s 2521 representative request that the discussion be stopped and ask that the request be made part 2522 of the that meeting’s minutes. If others continue such discussion, the association’s 2523 representative should excuse himself from the meeting and request that the minutes show 2524 that he left the meeting at that point and why he left. Any such instance should be 2525 reported immediately to the President and Executive Director of the Society. 2526 VI. It is CSPD policy that a copy of these Antitrust Compliance Policies be given to each 2527 officer, director, committee member, and contracted staff annually and that the same be 2528 read or understood to be in effect at all meetings of the membership of the Society. 2529 2530Adoption and Amendment Dates: March, 2009 2531Sunset Review Date 2532 2533 253410.

221 Page 18 of 37 222 Section 10 223 2914California Society of Pediatric Dentistry (CSPD) shall be the sole judge of the suitability of 2915materials for advertising, and accepts advertising in the quarterly CSPD Bulletin and CSPD 2916website www.cspd.org subject to the following conditions:
2917 All advertisements submitted for display in a CSPD publication are subject to review and 2918 appropriate space available.
2919 Products that are in an ADA seal program must also satisfy all requirements of the applicable 2920 scientific council in addition to these standards governing eligibility for advertising in CSPD 2921 publications.
2922 Advertisements will not be accepted if they conflict with or appear to violate CSPD policy, 2923 the ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct or its Constitution and 2924 Bylaws, or if the advertisements are deemed offensive in either text or artwork or contain 2925 attacks of a personal, racial or religious nature.
2926 By submitting advertising copy, advertisers certify that such copy and the advertised 2927 product(s) are in accord with applicable government laws and regulations (for example, equal 2928 opportunity laws and regulations covering new drug applications and prescription drug 2929 advertising). Acceptance of advertising in CSPD publications is not to be construed as a 2930 guarantee that the manufacturer has complied with such laws and regulations.
2931 The advertisement of a product within the purview of the Council on Dental Materials, 2932 Instruments, and Equipment of the American Dental Association for which an official ADA 2933 specification exists shall not be accepted unless it is classified as "Acceptable" or 2934 "Provisionally Acceptable" and the claims substantiated by the Council.

RESEARCH GRANT AWARDS 3092 3093Protocol: The Society will administer a grant of up to $5,000.00 per year to fund original 3094research by members in good standing, including Postdoctoral student members, that promises to 3095advance the art and science of pediatric dentistry and benefit the oral health care of infants, 3096children and adolescents. Approved grants will be funded by the CSPD Foundation. 3097 3098It shall be the responsibility of the Professional Activities Committee to administer the program 3099and award the grants, adhering to the guidelines below. 3100 3101Guidelines: The Committee will actively solicit applications for the Society research grant each 3102year via notifications in the Bulletin, website, direct mailings, and by other such means as 3103appropriate. The application deadline is April 1st of each year. The Committee will publish the 3104criteria for selection of grant recipients and this criteria will be based upon the philosophy of 3105stimulating and making possible research that otherwise would not occur without the grant. 3106Such factors as originality, uniqueness, investigator effort and difficulty of study, scientific 3107worthiness and clinical application of the anticipated results will be considered. Research 3108projects in clinical as well as non-clinical venues will be considered. Applications for individual 3109research, as well as by clinical teams, schools, program chairmen, study clubs, or other entities 3110will be eligible, so long as the requirements for Society membership are met. 3111 3112The Committee will provide a written protocol document and an application form for the grant 3113available at any time upon request by a member in good standing. All submissions must be in 3114the standard format for a research proposal (see form attached). The committee will make every 3115effort to assist members in clinical practice who wish to apply. 3116 3117Each year, CSPD will administer a budget of $5,000 funded by the CSPD Foundation for the 3118Research Award with no accumulation of funds if they are not used in any one year. Each 3119applicant will be required to submit an estimated budget and a grant request not to exceed 3120$5,000. 3121 3122Applicants will agree to abide by certain grant requirements as outlined below. 3123 3124Following the April 1st deadline, the Committee will review all requests and, based on the publis 3125hed criteria, reach a decision on the awarding of the grants. The Committee may, based on the a 3126mount needed to adequately fund meritorious projects, award grants in such number and amounts 3127not to exceed the funds available. At their discretion, they may offer lesser amounts than applied 3128for due to the limited funds. 3129 3130Selected applicants will be notified by July 1 and the monies will be immediately issued upon 3131agreement to the terms and conditions of the grant. 3132 3133In the event that no grant is made or that some monies remain available following April 1, the 3134Committee shall be free to accept applications for the grant until December 31st. Each grant will 240 241 3135then be judged on its own individual merit in the order received without regard to other potential 3136applicants and monies may be immediately granted by the Committee based on the published 3137criteria. 3138 3139Terms and Conditions: Grant recipients agree to keep the Committee informed of the progress 3140of their research by a report, albeit brief, at least semi-annually. This is especially important in 3141projects that extend beyond one year. 3142 3143Following completion of their research, the recipient agrees to provide to the Society the results 3144of his/her research in manuscript form meeting the criteria for publication as outlined in Pediatric 3145Dentistry (The Journal of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry). In addition, a separate, 3146short abstract will be prepared, suitable for publication in the Bulletin so that the Society may 3147inform the membership as to the results of such research projects. 3148 3149There is no requirement that the completed research be submitted for publication; but where such 3150research merits publication, the Committee will make every effort to encourage submission to 3151appropriate professional journals and will assist in any manner possible the preparation of the 3152manuscript. Should such manuscript be accepted for publication, or should the recipient present 3153the results of his/her research in any other form or forum, the Society’s grant support will be 3154acknowledged. 3155 3156Following completion of the project, the grant recipient agrees to present the research findings to 3157the membership at the next Annual Meeting. This may take the form of a short oral presentation 3158or a table-clinic at the discretion of the Annual Meeting chair. If the grant recipient is residing 3159outside of the State of California at the time of the Annual Meeting, s/he shall have the option of 3160utilizing a substitute presenter or preparing a poster presentation without the speaker being 3161present. 3162 3163Failure to meet the terms and conditions of the grant results in forfeiture of the award and the 3164recipient agrees to return any grant monies to the CSPD Foundation.
