PRESIDENT'S UPDATE

Bryan R. Haugen, M.D.
ATA President |
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Dog Days of summer. It has been close to 100°F in Denver, but a dry heat. I hope you are all getting needed and well-deserved summer rest and rejuvenation with friends and loved ones.
I also hope that you all have registered for the 83rd Annual Meeting of the American Thyroid Association being held October 16-20, 2013. If not, why not? Julie Ann Sosa, Ron Koenig and the Program Committee have put together an outstanding scientific and clinical meeting program which will be held in the beautiful city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. San Juan is the second oldest European-established city in the Americas (founded by Spanish colonists in 1521), with many wonderful sights and an average temperature of 83°F in October. I hope to see you in San Juan this October.
ATA members and staff have been busy and productive this spring and summer. As many now know, we have recently entered into a collaborative agreement with Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. to publish Clinical Thyroidology and a new journal VideoEndocrinology. This is an exciting new direction for the ATA and you can read more about it in John Morris' Secretary's Update from the June SIGNAL.
2013 Research Grants
2013 is a record breaking year for research grant submissions. The ATA Research committee has reviewed over 50 proposals and selected 6 research projects to be funded in 2013. We thank ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc. for funding three research grants and three renewing grants this year. The ATA also supported three research grants and two renewing grants for a combined total of $316,250 between the two organizations. We are proud to support these individuals and their research projects as they continue to advance the understanding of thyroid diseases through their work.
ATA Welcomes New Members
The ATA welcomes 184 new members in 2013 as of July 30 (32 Active, 125 Associates, 17 Corresponding)

Take time to welcome them into this collegial group of thyroid specialists at the upcoming annual meeting in San Juan.
