Vanderbilt faculty members have been receiving phone calls from Congressman Tom Delay and a group called the Physician Advisory Board. The calls indicate that the faculty member has been selected to receive a national leadership award. The faculty member is then invited to join the board.
This is a political fund-raising effort for the National Republican Congressional Committee. Faculty members are encouraged to ignore the call unless they are interested in making a political contribution to this group.
