Continued on Page 2 to ASP. All of the committees require effort, whether it is evaluating 40-50 small grants a month before the meeting, or judging 10-20 student papers/posters at the meeting, or reviewing 30-40 abstracts five months before the meeting. The Society would not be able to function without the efforts of these dedicated primatologists. As I mentioned last time, we are encouraging everyone to participate in ASP, and a couple of the committees still have one or two unfilled spots. If you are interested in serving on an ASP committee, contact the committee chair or myself.

NEWS FROM THE AAALAC BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING, SEPTEMBER 2004

The American Society of Primatologists is one of 60 Member Organizations that supports the activities of the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, International (AAALAC). AAALAC has accredited over 660 institutions in 21 countries throughout the world, and provides a “gold standard” in animal care and use programs, including those involving nonhuman primates. Highlights of the past year’s activities that may be of interest to primatologists include the following:

• Senior Director, Dr. Kathryn A. Bayne, relocated to Hawaii and assumed the new titles and corresponding duties of Director of Pacific Rim Activities and Associate Director for Accreditation. In this latter capacity, she will continue her day-to-day management of the accreditation program. •Dr. Bayne also coordinated a joint effort, along with members of the Association of Primate Veterinarians and the American Society of Primatologists, to produce an Environmental Enrichment Primer for OLAW and APHIS, intended to be distributed to smaller zoos and primate facilities. •AAALAC Executive Director John Miller serves on the NIH Chimpanzee Sanctuary Working Group. •AAALAC is increasing its efforts to accredit international facilities, with current initiatives underway in Russia, People’s Republic of China, and Sinagapore.
