Dear ANA members, The arrival of Spring is wonderful, and the Summer brings a welcome pace, but the Fall is the best time of year for ANA members. It’s the season we convene for the Annual Meeting, the most exciting event in academic neurology, to be held this year from October 13-15, 2019 in St. Louis. As always, ANA2019 will bring together clinician-researchers from around the world and across subspecialties to enjoy symposia featuring the most promising science, interactive lunch workshops and special interest group sessions that drill down to the topics most relevant to your work, and professional development sessions offering advice tailored to your career level—so you can actually use it. ANA2019’s advance program details the groundbreaking research that will be showcased at the meeting and which of our renowned colleagues will present it. Once again, Scientific Program Advisory Committee Chair M. Elizabeth Ross and her team have left no stone unturned in assembling an outstanding lineup including a pre-meeting symposium on brain-computer interfaces and a presidential symposium on Alzheimer’s disease featuring advocate Kim Campbell, wife of the late musician/songwriter/actor Glen Campbell. Now’s the time to share the excitement of the ANA Annual Meeting with members of your department, so they too can take advantage of all the meeting has to offer. I encourage you to take care of your registration for ANA2019 today. In addition to receiving an early bird discount, you’ll have the logistics out of the way so that all you have to do is peruse the program and plan your perfect meeting. Meet me in St. Louis! Warm regards, David M. Holtzman, MD President, American Neurological Association Andrew B. and Gretchen P. Jones Professor and Chairman Dept. of Neurology, Washington University School of Medicine |
