There will be a strategic planning exercise as part of the process of integration with Montefiore. It will be a very inclusive process.

The last Einstein Board meeting went well. The women’s Spirit of Achievement luncheon also took place recently and was successful.

There is a new head for the Office of Grant Support – Dr. Saha. The hope is that there will be increased outreach to investigators with new opportunities for grant applications.

As part of the transition process, once the signing and closing are completed successfully, the faculty will then get offer letters for the same position at the new Einstein.

A search for chair of medicine is about to get started.

The meeting adjourned at 3:52 p.m.
