Secretary's Report
March 2019

March is here and so is the Spring 2019 ATA Symposia "Diagnostic Imaging and Image-Guided Therapies for Thyroid Disease" which is being held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on Friday, March 22 from 1:00- 5:00 pm. Our program chairs, Drs Jennifer Sipos and Ralph Tufano have put together what we think will be a very stimulating and educational meeting with a diverse faculty. Based on registration to date, we expect a great showing at the meeting and there is still time to register so hope you can join us.

There have been several ATA related activities of note in the last month. The ATA was contacted by Paul Gunter from Beyond Nuclear about the opportunity to bring a resolution about KI distribution to the Ann Arbor City Council.

Dr. Thomas Giordano represented the ATA at a February meeting of the Ann Arbor City Council and on behalf of the ATA put forth a resolution calling upon the State of Michigan and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to expand the pre-distribution and strategic stockpiling of KI out to 50-miles around the Fermi 2 nuclear power station situated about 30 miles from Ann Arbor. The resolution was successfully adopted and you can learn more at the following internet link: https://www.wemu.org/post/issues-environment-ann-arbor-looks-stockpile-potassium-iodide-case-fermi-2-crisis
