Board Meeting:
Approximately every 5 years, the Frontiers Board meets to develop ideas for new volumes. Such a meeting was held this year. A number of ideas were approved as possible Frontiers volumes. Members of the Board are currently working to identify editors for these volumes.

Problems:
None

Action Item:
The Frontiers Board would like the Executive Committee to consider having a special function to honor the 25th anniversary of the SIOP Frontiers Series. This would be in the form of a reception with drinks and snacks held at SIOP in 2008 where the series, past members of the editorial board, and past volume editors would be acknowledged.
