| FAER Urges States
to Unite for 100 Percent Participation |
We extend great thanks and appreciation to component societies
for their support of FAER. Component society contributions have
been an increasingly significant resource for the FAER endowment.
We hope every state believes, as we do, that they all benefit
from the advancements made by the FAER award recipients. Our goal
for next year is to have 100 percent participation, and we ask
help from all of you to encourage your component society to contribute
and be advocates for FAER.
1999 Contributions
As of mid-December 1999, FAER had received $70,181 from 35 ASA
component societies. The societies have more than doubled their
contributions since 1995 when 18 component societies gave $34,200.
The top 1999 contributor was Minnesota ($8,900), with Florida
($6,220) and Texas ($6,125) coming in second and third.
California and Pennsylvania gave gifts of $5,000
and Tennessee $4,610. The contributions from these six
component societies made up 51 percent of the 1999 total. The
total 1999 society contributions currently would support two or
three FAER award investigators.
1999 Per-Active-Member Contributions by State
Minnesota topped the charts with a per-active-member
contribution of $25.80. Tennessee and Iowa followed
with $10 per member and $9.91 per member, respectively. Nebraska
($6.75), Rhode Island ($6.58) and Connecticut
($5.41) followed, with Missouri, Georgia, Florida
and South Dakota all giving about $5 per member. We appreciate
and recognize these societies' contributions. A number of the
societies gave generously despite not being direct recipients
of FAER awards.
1988-1999 Cumulative Contributions by State
Component societies have been supporting FAER since 1988. Florida
receives top honors for cumulative contributions of $62,220, followed
by California ($55,000) and Pennsylvania ($51,500).
Together, five societies, Florida, California, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and Minnesota contributed 52 percent of
the $480,916 given to FAER since 1988 by component societies.
1999 Individual Contributions by State
Individuals from each state also contribute to FAER. At the
time of submission of this article in mid-December 1999, 302 individual
gifts from 37 states, the District of Columbia and Canada totaled
$90,969 (up from $45,000 in 1996). This represents participation
by a little over 1 percent of the ASA active membership. We hope
to increase this percentage annually. California, New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Minnesota
each had more than 15 individuals donate personal gifts. Minnesota,
Massachusetts, Missouri and Connecticut recorded
the highest percentage of members contributing with 5.2 percent,
2.6 percent, 2.4 percent and 2.2 percent, respectively. This money
currently would be enough to support three or four FAER investigators.
It is encouraging and refreshing to see the gradual increase
in support of FAER and the specialty by anesthesiologists. We
cannot take the scientific foundation of anesthesiology for granted.
All of us at FAER give you our great thanks and appreciation.
