An informal meeting of the Air Force Audiology Association took place in Conrad’s Restaurant in Albuquerque, NM, on 28 August, 2001.
The meeting was called to order (so to speak) by AFAA President Maj Bob Eppens at the close of the annual AFAA banquet. Twenty–four members and guests were present. Maj Eppens announced executive committee’s decision to waive AFAA dues for 2001 due to the late date of the meeting and presented the AF Audiologist of the Year for 2000 to Capt John Hall.
