President John Morris - ATA Update October 2016
 |
John C. Morris, M.D.
ATA President |
Welcome to the New Year in ATA!
I hope that everyone enjoyed the annual meeting in Denver as much as I did! It was a record setter, by all measures: Most attendees (1,314), members (418), non-members (359), associate members (284), abstracts (472), and exhibitors (33). Abstracts were received from 33 distinct countries, and 1/3 of all attendees were from outside the USA and Canada. Of course the most important event during the meeting is the scientific program, which was outstanding – congratulations to Stephanie Fish and Peter Arvan and the Program Committee Members for organizing such a terrifically successful agenda. Since 2007 we have pointed to the New York meeting as our record largest event – now we have a new gold standard – Denver 2016. Special thanks to Adonia Coates, our Director of Meetings and Program Services and the entire ATA office staff (Sharleene Cano, Kelly Hoff, Josette Paige, Danielle Waldman) led by Executive Director, Bobbi Smith, who work so diligently leading up to this climax of activity each year. As you might suspect, they are already back at work with planning for next year's event in Victoria, British Columbia. I am looking forward to breaking the new record there.
