  • American Optometric Foundation
    American Optometricaof Foundation annual2009 report 2010 AMERICAN OPTOMETRIC FOUNDATION is a philanthropic organization which develops and provides financial support for optometric research and education in vision and eye health. 3 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Message President's ON COURSE... The American Academy of Optometry and its Foundation enjoyed another banner year. The record-breaking Annual Meeting in San Francisco was also the Foundation’s most successful meeting ever, raising over $190,000 to support research and education. Donations made through registration started a very positive trend. The philanthropy continued at the AOF exhibit hall booth where over $95,000 from donors was augmented by a $25,000 match from Essilor of America. Thirty-eight lecturers redirected their honoraria to the Foundation. This along with an annual contribution commitment from the Academy Board for Continuing Education dollars provided an additional $27,500. The Foundation Celebration Luncheon was attended by 280 supporters and the silent auction raised over $10,000. The Foundation also received a couple of impressive lead gifts, described on the following pages. This Annual Report further demonstrates the financial health of your Foundation: $3.5 million in assets and $400,000 awarded in fellowships, scholarships and grants in 2010. Furthermore, thanks to the continued support of the Academy Board, the Foundation’s expenses are extremely low. Thus your donations support the future of optometry rather than administrative costs. The year saw a few milestones for the Foundation. We awarded the first Michael G. Harris Ezell Fellowship supporting an optometrist pursuing graduate work in education, public policy, public health, or related areas.

  • Legal Defense Funds and Other Ways That Government Officials Pay Their Lawyers
    Paying the Price for Heightened Ethics Scrutiny: Legal Defense Funds and Other Ways That Government Officials Pay Their Lawyers Kathleen Clark* This article takes a comprehensive look at a problem of growing signifi- cance for government officials: how to pay the legalfees they incur when they or their colleagues are investigatedfor wrongdoing. Since Watergate, an in- creasing number of government officials have had to hire attorneys when called before grandjuries and legislative committees or subjected to internal admin- istrative investigations. Their legalfees often outstrip their government salaries or even their net worth. This article examines three existing mechanisms for government reimbursement of legal fees-Justice Department regulations, the Independent Counsel statute, andprivate legislation-andidentifies the short- comings of each. It then explores the legal status of legal defensefunds, which top officials have used to raise millions of dollars to pay their legalfees. Fi- nally, the article identifies several reforms that would treat government officials much morefairly andprotect against corruptinginfluences.
