Company secretary

The Company Secretary, whose responsibilities are fulfilled by the Secretariat Administrator, holds office for both the charity and its trading subsidiary (see Section 2.2.7.1 of The Cochrane Manual (www.cochrane.org/admin/manual.htm)). 

Responsibility for an offence usually attaches to the employer but may attach to an employee (ss. 7-8). However where the contravention was caused with the consent or knowledge or be due to the neglect of a director, manager, company secretary or other officer (s. 37) then he too can be prosecuted. 

A company is required to have a eompaity secretary whose stamtoiy duties include the keeping of the various records that the compaity is obliged to maintain and submitting various statutory returns to Companies House in Cardiff. The company secretary will normally also take responsibility for a variety of related matters. Provided the company has more than one director, the secretary may be, and often is, a director. Because of the technical expertise required, small companies often appoint an outside professional advisor as a company secretary.

Review Documentation The project review team leader has the ultimate responsibility for documenting the results of the project review. This responsibility may be delegated to a team scribe or secretary to record trie review minutes and issue a summary report with listed action items. The action items could address exceptions to company or industiy standards and government regulations, review team recommendations based on experience and knowledge, and further issues for study that could not be resolved during the review session. 

The kinds of resources needed are fairly straightforward. The primary resource requirement for most PSM implementation efforts will be staff-time, both professional and clerical/secretarial. It is also reasonable to expect to incur travel expenses at intervals throughout the process, especially for companies with multiple facilities. Support resources, such as telephone, computer time, facsimile, photocopying, and document production, will almost certainly be required in any initiative. 

The company had declared surplus two secretary chairs because they did not match the decor of the new offices. They were in excellent condition and very comfortable. One was placed at the analytical balance, the other at the desk in the main room. 

The spread of technology at pharmaceutical companies also meant that secretaries were given word processors (such as the Wang machines) to use in addition to typewriters, which were still needed for filling out forms. Keyboarding was the domain of the secretaries, the data entry technicians, and the computational chemists. Only a few managers and scientists would type their own memos and articles.

Ev and I had parted earlier in 1975. Our relationship of convenience formed on the road had not flowered after we returned to careers and school stateside. Ev quickly found work and I did not. Later she enrolled in secretarial school and I went back to Cal to finish my degree in Conservation of Natural Resources. How far we seemed to have fallen from the exaulted vistas revealed at La Cho-rrera. Our lives were financially marginal, intellectually constrained, and eventually our attachments and interests went elsewhere. When the breakup finally came it was ugly and heartrending. We may have seen into the heart of the mysteries, but that did not mean that we were any wiser than ordinary people when it came to the affairs of our own hearts. Ev departed from my life in the company of an old friend of mine from my days at the Experimental College, and I was left confused and defensive by what felt like a double betrayal. 

The NIH and the pharmaceutical industry have formed a new partnership to overcome barriers to early-phase clinical trials. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, announced on July 9, 2003 grant awards for six cancer centers involved in a unique public-private partnership. Five pharmaceutical companies together with NCI put forth a total of 5.7 million for this partnership. Institutions receiving the funding include Massachusetts General Hospital University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Washington University, St. Louis University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute University of California, Davis Cancer Center and Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (http //WWW. bms.com/news/other/data/pf other.news.385 5. html).

In whatever way it is organised, the medical department will of course need the support of the human resources department as well as administrative and secretarial services. Thus, while it is not possible to propose any specific organisational structure for a medical department, the organogram presented in Figure 10.1 reflects the issues that need to be considered when deciding on the preferred organisation within the company.

The preparation of standards is carried out by the technical committees, their sub-committees and panels. Hence, we have, for example, PRJ/66 Hose and PRI 70 Elastomeric seals, and there is a coordination committee for input into ISO. Committee members are nominated by industry, government departments and research associations. The industry representatives are usually nominated by trade associations and not by the individual company, although individual experts can be co-opted. BSI supplies secretarial support, the level of which depends on how active the committee is and how important its work is considered. 

In 1989 I again retired from full time employment into a new position of Scientist Emeritus created by Dow Corning. In this position I still keep contact with Dow Corning, have an office, a laboratory, a secretary, a telephone and mailing address and am free to write, travel, lecture and consult with outside companies. As long as my health allows, I hope to continue active participation in the study of adhesion at interfaces.
