Secretary's Report March 2020
This is a time for solidarity among ATA members and a time to support our colleagues. I think it is unprecedented that this is now the third Signal in a row in which we have discussed our global COVID-19 pandemic. It is heartening the ATA members are staying connected through virtual channels and social media.
We have all been making difficult decisions about upcoming meetings:
- The Asia and Oceania Thyroid Association (AOTA) has regretfully advised us that they are postponing the 16th International Thyroid Congress (ITC). Therefore, there will be no ITC in September 2020 in Xi'an.
- The ATA was also forced to cancel the 2020 Spring meeting scheduled for May 28-30, in the face of closures and travel restrictions across the country and Canada. We look forward to a time when it will again be safe for meetings to take place.
- As everyone is aware, the Endocrine Society decided on March 9 to cancel their 2020 annual meeting. The registration for and hosting of our ATA satellite meeting was linked to the Endocrine Society meeting, thus necessitating our cancellation in tandem.
For both of our cancelled meetings, we thank all our speakers: the ATA appreciates your willingness to be available to record your presentations. We are as disappointed as all our potential attendees that the live meeting format is impossible. Our ATA meetings and technology staff are working with faculty to arrange for the content of these meetings to be delivered by webinar.
