Erratum Statement:  The April 30, 2009 Advisory Committee for Blood Safety and Availability Minutes stated "Ms. Julie Birkhofer is currently the President of the North American Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association.  Julie has been on the Committee previously and this is an extension of her commitment to the Committee.  And she will serve a three year term representing PPTA."  The transcript is corrected to read:  "Ms. Birkhofer served as a representative member for the PPTA on the ACBSA from Dec 2005 to March 2010.  She was initially appointed to serve a three year term, from December 1, 2005 to December 1, 2008.  She was reappointed to serve an additional term of one year as the representative member for the PPTA, from March 30, 2009 to March 30, 2010."
