12.1025 Ocean Leadership Board Meeting Agenda Book Members Meeting and Board of Trustees Meeting October 25-26, 2012 Washington, DC October 15, 2012 Dear Member Colleagues, Enclosed please find the Agenda Book for the Members and Board of Trustees meetings scheduled for October 25th and 26th in the conference facilities of the Ocean Leadership offices at 1201 New York Avenue, N.W. in Washington, DC. The Members Meeting is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 25th and will conclude by 5:30 p.m. The meeting will be followed by a reception at Old Ebbitt Grill, located at 675 15th Street, N.W. I am very pleased that we have been able to confirm representative speakers from across the federal sector to discuss programs, priorities and federal funding issues of importance to our Members and to the broader ocean sciences community. Please take special note that the ad hoc Bylaws Committee will make a number of recommendations to the Voting Members regarding revisions to the Ocean Leadership Bylaws. Among other items, the proposed revisions include changes to the qualifications for Associate Member status and to the way in which Trustees are elected to the Board of Trustees. A redline document highlighting all the proposed revisions is included in this Agenda Book (see Agenda Item #14 of the Members Meeting). Please take some time to review this document carefully, as some of the recommended revisions represent substantial changes in the way Ocean Leadership’s membership and governance structure operates. On Friday, October 26th please note that the Board will meet in Executive Session at 8:00 a.m. The open portion of the Board Meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. and will conclude by 3:00 p.m. All Members are welcome to attend the open portion of the Board Meeting, and I hope your schedule will allow you do so. I believe that we will have another engaging, informative and productive set of meetings, and I look forward to seeing you in two weeks.

What is the Indian Child Welfare Act? “The children that were brought to the Eklutna Vocational School were expected to learn the English language. They were not allowed to speak their own language even among themselves.” Alberta Stephan 63 Why do we hear so much about high rates of alcoholism, suicide, and violence in many Alaska Native communities? Like virtually all Northern societies, Alaska suffers from high rates of alcoholism, violence, and suicide in all sectors of its population, regardless of social class or ethnicity. Society as a whole in the United States has long wrestled with problems of alcoholism. As historian Michael Kimmel observes, “…by today's standards, American men of the early national peri- od were hopeless sots…Alcohol was a way of life; even the founding fathers drank heavi- ly…Alcohol was such an accepted part of American life that in 1829 the secretary of war estimated that three quarters of the nation's laborers drank daily at least 4 ounces of distilled spirits.” 1 Many scholars have speculated that economic anxiety and social disconnection fueled this tendency towards alcoholic overuse in non-Native men of the early American nation.
