PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY DEPARTMENT MEETING

We have a department meeting once a month at my job. There are about 50 people in my department in the Chicago office. Corresponding via conference call are an additional 10 or so representatives from San Diego and Baltimore.

At the beginning of the meeting, one of the secretaries distributes the "minutes" for the previous month's meeting to everyone. The minutes I received this morning* for last month's meeting were as follows:

• William Hanson opened the meeting. He stated that he had nothing to announce.

• Mark Brest had nothing to announce from the Baltimore office.

• Jacqueline Gersh had nothing to announce from the San Diego office.

• Jerry Owens stated that she had nothing to announce.

• Cathy Ferguson introduced new Conflicts Department members, Peter Donegal and Andrew Wind.

• Kathryn Kendall gave the numbers report.

• Mia Breckenridge explained that a member of the firm's conflict searchers group will begin doing Dun and Bradstreet corporate research.

• Mia Breckenridge announced that there is a cake to celebrate the engagement of Joan Greeves and Patrick Masticate. Many people then ate the cake.

*I have changed only names. The rest is real.
