President's Report
June 2019

Greetings!

The ATA leadership and many members met in Phoenix recently for a highly productive strategic planning meeting. Details about the plans developed there will be forthcoming in next month's Signal. Also in June the ATA hosted a satellite symposium, just before the Latin American Thyroid Society (LATS) meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, titled American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines: From Development to Deployment.

Elections for the ATA's board of directors and president-elect will be underway later this summer (and we trust will be far more collegial than the national political scene). For the last several years, in order to ensure that the board is reflective of the composition of the society, board members are elected to seats based on their type of practice or professional activity. You can find a listing (and photos) of the current Board of Directors on the ATA website.
