What Does "Support" Mean? Dear Supporter, This is a collaboration and we have the responsiblity to be sensitive your needs and feelings by being discreet, and with the upmost care, respecting issues of confidentiality . Most of all, we have the responsibility to respect the value of your time. The success of the Center is dependant on small favors. For Example: If a researcher calls or emails you, for your professional opinion, you will help them get the best information. If a researcher needs the benefit of your contacts, you will share that information. As you know, sometimes who you know is more important than what you know. We ask that you make an effort to inform your colleagues of our work and website. You will consider the Center when you have new ideas and publications. Within the area of your expertise you will occasionally serve to provide peer review of our publications. Generally, be a colleague to the Center If ever you feel we are at conflict, I will personally be responsible. W. Reid Cornwell Director
