PRESIDENT'S UPDATE
From the ATA President, Gregory A. Brent
A sense of anticipation and energy can be felt throughout our association as we prepare for the Annual Meeting, October 26-30. Many have already reserved their rooms at the Renaissance Esmeralda in Indian Wells, and we have heard from many others around the world who are planning to join us. With well over 4 months before the meeting, already almost a quarter of our hotel room block is filled for the peak nights. I urge all of you not to delay and to begin making your plans, to reserve your room, and to ensure that you do not miss out on being at the center of the action.
Despite all of the other meetings that compete for our time and attention, why is the ATA annual meeting still growing? Dr. T.C. Davison, who was president of the ATA in 1951, stated, "At our annual meetings all of the latest knowledge and ideas are brought together in order that we may become better doctors to serve suffering humanity afflicted with thyroid disease." The balance between clinical and original research presented, combined with the mix of clinicians and scientists have been hallmarks of the ATA meeting for over 50 years.
