SECRETARY'S UPDATE
 |
Victor J. Bernet, MD
Secretary/Chief Operating Officer |
As we approach the end of the month of May, I feel it is appropriate that we acknowledge the upcoming Memorial Day. In 1868, following the American Civil War, Union veterans founded Decoration Day in Decatur, Illinois. They organized placing flowers on the graves of the Union war dead. Of course, Memorial Day now honors all Americans who have died while in military service. Having served 21+ years in the US Army Medical Corps, I was afforded an intimate view of the sacrifices made by service members and their families during military duty including some who made the ultimate sacrifice. As we move thru our busy lives, I urge us to pause to remember, and honor these individuals and their families.
We are pleased that the ATA continues to thrive in fulfilling its mission. The work of the task force to select the new Editor-in-Chief of VideoEndocrinology has been completed. Four excellent candidates applied for the position, all who brought many talents to the table and in a positive way made our selection a challenging one. We are excited to announce that William Barry Inabnet, III, MD, FACS has been selected as the next Editor-in-Chief of VideoEndocrinology (VE). We thank Jerry Doherty for his excellent work as the inaugural EIC of this new journal as he continues as editor through 2017. An exciting outcome generated by the VE EIC selection process is the creation of a VideoEndocrinology session to be presented at the annual meeting this fall in Victoria, BC.
