November 2018

Dear ANA members,

I want to personally thank everyone who attended the 2018 ANA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia a few weeks ago. I have received feedback from many attendees who have uniformly told me that they thought the scientific program was fantastic and the many other events that were part of the meeting were a great success. If there is anything you would like to give us feedback about, please do so.

There is no rest for the weary. We have already started planning for the 144th Annual Meeting of the ANA for 2019 that will be in St. Louis, Missouri. The Pre-Meeting Symposium will be on Saturday, October 12 and the main meeting will take place from Sunday October 13 – Tuesday October 15, 2019. Please mark the dates on your calendar now. Many committees of the ANA will be working on the planning over the next several months to come up with a great program. We already know the Presidential Reception will be in the newly renovated museum of the Gateway Arch (https://www.gatewayarch.com/) and include rides up the Arch for those interested.

I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!
