MissionARCS Foundation advances science and technology in the United States by providing financial awards to academically outstanding U.S. citizens studying to complete degrees in science, engineering, and medical research.

ARCS Foundation, Inc. - Achievement Rewards for College Scientists - is an organization of women philanthropists who are dedicated to “Advancing Science in America.”

ARCS Foundation was established in 1958 in Los Angeles to address what was recognized as the critical future and growing need for U.S. scientists and engineers.

ARCS Foundation National is an umbrella organization that supports the work of the 17 chapters across the country, development of new chapters, and maintenance of the standard of excellence among the chapters.

••••••••••••••••••••••

ARCS scholars are all U.S. citizens with outstanding scholastic records (3.5 GPA required) and proven abilities who receive multiple offers to study at the best universities in the country. This very competitive and coveted award will often make a difference for students when they are deciding which university to attend.

••••••••••••••••••••••

ARCS Foundation is one of the largest contributors to basic science education of any private membership organization in the United States.

We’ve had a very good year, as you will see as you review each summary of board and committee activities contained in this annual report. Members of the board began the year with agreement to work as a team, and we have done so. Each VP did her part. My thanks goes to Secretary Shelley Voboril, who took excellent minutes of our meetings, and to our Members-At-Large Aletha Anderson and Barbara Giesy. Each accepted additional responsibilities and brought her considerable community board experiences to our discussions. ARCS Foundation Portland Chapter’s Long Range Plan identifies four goals. The board members and their committees have worked successfully to address each of these goals, and they are to be commended for their commitment.

1. Increase the number of annual scholar awards.A record number of new ARCS Scholar Awards, 22, will be presented at our Scholar Awards Luncheon in October. At that time we will honor 53 first, second, and third year students. Since our founding in 2004, 131 scholars have benefited from the Portland Chapter’s support.

2. Engage membership to enhance commitment.Ten outstanding, community-minded women have joined ARCS this year. New member orientations, an emphasis on committee participation, and the revision of membership categories enabling membership growth have led to a full roster. Our program attendance grows with each offering of stimulating discussions in new research. Communication with members using email, snail mail, the newsletter, and the website keeps information flowing.

3. Sustain and enhance partnerships with Oregon’s leading graduate programs.

Our relationships with OHSU and Oregon State University remain strong. We encouraged OHSU’s School of Nursing to establish its own scholar selection committee, thereby identifying another qualified PhD candidate. We also committed to being a major donor at OSU in joining the Harris Society by pledging $1 million in scholar awards by 2018.

4. Ensure chapter vitality.Our financial position is strong, thanks to the generosity of our donors and the capable members of our Finance Committee. We gratefully acknowledge our second endowment funders, Barbara and Philip Silver, and we continue to seek new funding from foundations, corporations, and individuals. The Governance Committee reviewed our bylaws, policies, and procedures, adding and revising as needed. Work from several new committees, including Long Range Planning, 10th Anniversary Planning, and the Study of Staffing (to look at development and administrative help), brings new energy and focus.

As we look ahead, I encourage all members to celebrate our accomplishments by spreading the news about ARCS. Our “elevator speech” to encourage community funding is ready.

“I/We believe that investments in American scientists studying with Oregon’s premier doctoral programs in science, medicine and engineering build a vital pipeline of intellectual capital for our businesses. Through our scholar awards, ARCS supports and nurtures these exceptional young women and men at OHSU and Oregon State University.”

We do good work, and I thank you all.

Caron Ogg and Leslie Workman

ARCS Foundation National is an umbrella organization that supports the work of the 17 Chapters across the country. There are three basic functions of the National Board:• To support existing Chapters• To develop new Chapters• To maintain National Standards of Excellence

(scholars, schools supported and adherence to our mission)

Caron Ogg serves as VP Chapter Relations and sits on the Executive Committee. Her task is to steward the 17 chapter presidents, organize and run the presidents’ meetings at National, and represent their interests to the Executive Committee. She also serves on these committees: Evaluation, Long Range Planning, PATS (Presidents’ Advanced Training Sessions) and Nominating.Leslie Workman serves as VP Membership and sits on the Executive Committee. This year her committee created a network with each chapter’s membership chairs and developed a matrix focusing on membership strategies. Information was shared through PATS and the Long Range Planning Committee. The committee is working to update the national membership handbook. She also serves on these committees: Long Range Planning, Information Strategies, and Nominating.Sharon Hewitt serves on the national board as one of 11 members of the Council of Advisors, which acts as a sounding board and source of institutional memory and historical reference.Susan Smith serves as the Chair of SEAC (Science and Engineering Advisory Council). They are a distinguished group of men and women who advise ARCS Foundation on national science trends.

FINANCE

The Finance Committee is responsible for all financial activity within the ARCS Chapter, which includes collecting and recording deposits, payment of bills and monthly distribution of financial information to the ARCS board members. Other more complex fiscal responsibilities are cash flow planning, tax filing, budgeting, asset management oversight, VISA processing, pledge contract maintenance and determining the number of endowment and chapter scholar awards to recommend to the board.

This year the Finance Committee worked on two major projects. With the Ogg and Silver endowment gifts, the committee revised the Endowed Scholar Award Fund Policy. This policy sets forth the parameters for contribution amounts and naming rights for scholar awards. The gifts are to be maintained as separate donor-restricted endowment funds on the books and records of the Chapter. The annual payout to fund scholar awards is not to exceed 5% of the combined corpus and income of year-end net assets. This and the Investment Policy Guidelines will provide the means to grow the fund assets for future scholar awards. Thanks to attorney Penny Serrurier for her policy assistance.

The second project the committee is working on is revising and expanding acceptance and processing of VISA charges. Other chapters using various websites for VISA processing have been contacted for membership acceptance, use and cost information. Committee members are analyzing the costs to establish VISA payments on the web and the potential for increased donations due to website convenience. The goal is to complete this project prior to the Scholar Awards Luncheon this fall.

We continue to work to increase recognition for ARCS Foundation’s mission and for the Portland chapter.

• The Scholar Awards Luncheon was mentioned in The Oregonian “Scene and Heard” column and in the weekly Portland Society Page.

• At our request, the Portland Society Page has a permanent link to the ARCS Foundation website.

• We now have a speaker’s release form that allows us to video programs. The recorded monthly programs are available to members.

• We are looking at website analytical information that will help us fine-tune the content on the chapter website.

• We’ve done preliminary explorations into maintaining a chapter presence on Facebook and Twitter.

• We’ve established lines of communication with our colleges, looking for fresh and frequent information about our ARCS scholars.

VP Governance: Nancy FischerCommittee Members: Aletha Anderson, Nancy Delbrueck, Julie

Drinkward, Sharon Hewitt, Jean Josephson, Caron Ogg, Ellen Richardson, Barbara Silver, Leslie Workman

GOVERNANCE

Working with the Membership Committee, our major task this year was to develop a new membership category. The board approved the activation of an Associate Member category that will be available to members who have completed five years of active membership. The dues and assessments will remain the same ($150 & $500= $650). They will be welcome to attend all meetings and programs, may bring guests to programs and may volunteer, but they have no obligation to participate. They may co-sponsor new members with an active member, but they have no voting privileges.The board also approved an active category of membership for members age 50 and under, which would allow for reduced fees. Financial responsibility would be $150 dues and $100 assessment. All other active member privileges and obligations would remain the same.Our committee addressed changes to the board restructuring that occurred last year. The job description of the VP of Fund Development was revised. The chair of the Scholar Awards Luncheon now reports to the president. The chair of the Program Committee will again be a board position.We are updating our bylaws to add language about a nominating committee, and the standing rules are being amended to include the new membership categories. Our policies and procedures were each assigned to aligned VP’s for “ownership,” and committee chairs will suggest any changes to the board for consideration.

PROGRAM

The Portland Chapter of ARCS Foundation's Program Committee produced six programs over the course of the 2012-2013 season. Attendance was strong, averaging 40 members per program, and each program boasted presentations by ARCS Scholars.

Because the survey conducted by Membership in 2012 indicated that members would like to have both morning and afternoon meetings, the committee provided three morning sessions and one afternoon option. The full-day field trip to OSU and the evening program held at Vey Auditorium/Doernbecher rounded out the variety of times and locations.

The committee secured releases from the speakers to record their presentations for posting on the chapter website. A release form was developed through the Program Committee's efforts and approved by the Governance Committee.

The speakers were as follows, with their subjects indicated:September 12, 2012 - Dr. John Bolte, OSU professor and department head of Biological and Ecological Engineering: "Water and Climate Issues in the Willamette Valley." Held at Hoffman Construction Corporate Office, Fox Tower, 9:30 am.

October 9, 2012 - Dr. Kenton Gregory, director, OHSU Center for Regenerative Medicine: "A New Field in Medicine That Will Change All Our Lives." Held at CHH, Room 3070, 1 pm.

January 9, 2013 - Dr. Michael Klein, director, Macular Degeneration Center, OHSU Casey Eye Institute: "New Developments in Age-Related Macular Degeneration." Held at CHH, Room 3070, 9:30 am.

17

PROGRAM

February 5, 2013 - Dr. Steven Shea, director of the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology, OHSU: "Sleep Disorders and Circadian Rhythms." Held at CHH, Room 3070, 9:30 am.

March 5, 2013 - Dr. David Clarke, clinical assistant professor of gastroenterology emeritus and assistant director at the Center for Ethics at OHSU: "Hidden Stresses and Your Health." Held at 6:30 pm, Vey Auditorium, Doernbecher Children's Hospital.

April 10, 2013 - Dr. Bob McGorrin, department head, Food Science and Technology, coordinating a series of four speakers at Oregon State University: "A Story of Fermentation and the Yeast that Launched a Thousand Industries." Held at OSU, bus leaving Portland at 8:30 am and returning by 4:30 pm.

The Program Committee played a supportive role in obtaining a speaker for the Annual Meeting: Dr. Mary Stenzel-Poore, senior associate-dean for medical research at OHSU's School of Medicine and assistant VP for research at OHSU.Two committee-wide meetings have been held (September and February) to develop a list of topics, speakers, times and venues for the 2013-2014 program season. While all plans have not been finalized, the committee is happy to announce that the year will begin with a presentation by Lisa Coussens, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, and director of basic research in the Knight Cancer Institute. Her research interest is breast cancer, and she is highly regarded for both her research accomplishments and her strong speaking skills. This presentation will be held on Tuesday, September 10th at 1pm at the CHH.

SCHOLAR RELATIONS

The scholar picnic was held in late September at Gabriel Park in Portland. Board members, donors and scholars met one another, welcoming the first-year students. University mentors were encouraged to be there. Approximately 100 people attended.

Orientations for first year scholars were held in afternoon sessions at OHSU and OSU to further acquaint them with ARCS and their fellow scholars. The response by the scholars and the faculty members of OHSU and OSU was very positive, and dates for this fall are on the calendar.

At the SAL, each chapter scholar was placed with a chapter member. The purpose was to engage the scholar and introduce her or him to more members of ARCS and the public.

Lab tours were held at OHSU in February and March. Approximately 20 members experienced seeing our ARCS scholars at their work.

The Celebrate the Scholar recognition evening for third-year award recipients was held on May 14th at the home of Bobby Jo Koblegarde. Board members and scholar award donors joined university mentors at this very special transition to “ARCS Alum” status.

VP University Relations: Joan Foley

UNIVERSITY RELATIONS

University Relations grew beyond a single committee and was divided between the administrative work tracking the scholars and the chapter’s events with the scholars. Scholar Relations VP Barbara Silver now oversees events, and she and Joan Foley worked closely to transition the planning and organizing of the yearly ARCS events for scholars.

Caron Ogg designed the online application process last year, and UR processed the online applications of our 19 first-year scholars last fall. The plan is to streamline the application process further for the 22 incoming scholars. A total of 53 scholars will be tracked by UR this year, and efforts to systemize data collection will be an immediate focus.

OHSU School of Nursing, (SON), has had only two scholar awards, one in 2006 and another in 2007. Following discussions with faculty in the SON last year, and with input from past chapter presidents, School of Medicine Scholar Selection Committee Chair Chris Cunningham, and ARCS members Susan Smith, Jean Josephson, and Joan Foley met and agreed to form a SON ARCS Scholar Selection Committee. The committee was appointed by OHSU Provost Jeanette Mladenovic (an ARCS member) and includes Chris Cunningham and three faculty members from the SON. Donors funded a new SON award.

The College of Engineering at Oregon State University will have a site visit this summer.

2013 ARCS LIGHT RECIPIENT

Caron OggCaron Ogg understands foundations—how they work and what they need. She founded the Shoreline School District Foundation in Seattle, and after moving to Portland Caron joined and continues to serve on the board of New Avenues for Youth. She and her husband, Larry, are trustees of the Washington State University Foundation. In addition, Caron serves on the ARCS Foundation National Board as VP Chapter Relations. Caron’s tireless leadership in organizational development and long range planning set our chapter on a course of growth. Membership counts, the number of scholar awards, and our chapter’s financial assets all increased during Caron’s term as president. She designed our chapter web site, our development materials, and our membership brochures. Always leading by example, Caron and Larry gave our chapter its first endowed scholar award. Dedicated to youth and education, and generously willing to share her design talents and exceptional administrative abilities, Caron most deservedly joins our wonderful group of ARCS Lights: Sharon Hewitt, Leslie Workman, Ellen Richardson, Diane Alexander, Kathleen Ames, and Mary Ann Lockwood.
