Secretary's Report
September 2018
First, let me take the opportunity to offer you a hearty welcome to Washington D.C. and the 88th Annual Meeting of the American Thyroid Association. Believe the Program Committee, capably led by Mabel Ryder and Gregory Randolph, has put together an excellent meeting that will engage the many interests of our diverse membership. Before the meeting welcome and opening we will be holding ATA committee and task force meetings from 2:45-4:00 pm. The opening session Wednesday afternoon is entitled "Recent Developments and Future Challenges in Thyroidology" which will present clinical, basic and surgical viewpoints. Throughout the meeting, there will be a combination of presentations to include plenary and award lectures, symposia and meet the professor sessions as well as Early Riser symposia and Expo Theater activities. Special satellite symposia will feature the Latin America International group, the Pediatric Thyroid Forum as well as the 1st Annual ATA Advanced Practice Provider presentations. Of course, the Ridgway Trainee Conference will be in full force again under the supervision of Trainees and Career Advancement Committee led by Jacqueline Kung and Jennifer Sipos. The ATA will host 273 trainees: 157 endocrinology fellows, 40 surgery trainees and 76 early career basic scientists. An important offering which is fully enrolled is the ATA Endocrine Neck Advanced Ultrasound Course co-chaired by Susan Mandel and Kevin Brumund. We have recorded breaking registration numbers at the time of this report which are standing at 1400+ with regular abstract submissions at 459 and 84 short call abstracts.

Dr. Alan Farwell invites volunteers for the Editorial Board of Clinical Thyroidology for the Public.
This is an online journal that is published on a monthly basis. The goal of CTFP is to bring to patients the most up-to-date, cutting edge thyroid research. Editorial Board members are asked to "translate" the summaries presented in Clinical Thyroidology® into lay language for patients. This allows the rapid dissemination of thyroid research to the widest possible audience.
As an Editorial Board member, you will be asked to write a summary every other month. The summaries are taken directly from the summaries published in Clinical Thyroidology® – essentially we are putting the CT summaries into lay language for patients to understand. The reading level should be 5th grade. This is more difficult than you think!
You can get a flavor of what CTFP is like by looking on the ATA website. You should sign up for the Friends of the ATA so you will get the CTFP and e-newsletter monthly to see what we are doing. Finally, try out Twitter and follow us @thyroidfriends. Please email Dr. Farwell if you are interested alan.farwell@bmc.org .
