Reports from the 86th Annual Meeting of the ATA
Secretary's Report
 |
Victor J. Bernet, MD
Secretary/Chief Operating Officer |
First, let me express my thanks to the ATA membership for the great privilege of electing me to serve as the ATA Secretary/COO. As John Morris promised, my first year in office has been busy, very busy. However, it also has been extremely rewarding and a great learning opportunity as well. The collegial nature of the ATA in combination with its loyal and active membership plus great office staff make my job as Secretary a rewarding one.
The society has been very active and productive over the last year and I will now share with you the membership a summary of those accomplishments. The ATA has continued to be very productive in the deployment/revision of thyroid disease related guidelines. The Thyroid Nodule and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer guidelines were released in the Fall 2015 and published in early 2016. The Hyperthyroidism Guidelines have been recently released with the updated Pregnancy and Thyroid guidelines soon to follow. Proceedings for the update of the Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer guidelines are underway as well. We very much appreciate the efforts of our guidelines chairs and committee members, this challenging work is extremely important to the ATA as a society and as it reflects on the stature of all the members.
President's Report

Antonio C. Bianco, MD, PhD
ATA President |
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your president for the last year. This allowed me to have an in-depth view and understanding of the offstage work that makes this organization a global leader. It also gave me an opportunity to participate and contribute with current issues that involve our Association.
The ATA is a highly functional organization It is hard to overstate the phenomenal work that goes on at the ATA office led by our Executive Director Bobbi Smith and our Secretary Victor Bernet. Having a stream of such successful dyads has certainly contributed to what the ATA is today, a highly functional organization with a logical and reliable operational and financial infrastructure. The standing committees and taskforces on thyroid research, education, clinical activities and annual meeting provide the basis for how the work is broken down and progress is achieved. The Board of Directors meets regularly, on the phone or on the road, charges these groups, monitors their work and considers their reports, eventually approving for public consumption. This is permeated by a gigantic effort on the preparation for our annual meeting, with program development, travel and on-site logistics. Read more...
