Secretary's Update
September 2019
Change is something we expect with the onset of Fall season and the same can be said for the ATA's governance representation. As you are aware, elections for 3 new ATA Directors and a President-elect were held and the results will be shared with membership at the annual business meeting being held on Thursday evening 31 October. The Fall of 2019 holds some additional leadership changes. We will have a new Secretary/Chief Operating Officer as of 3 November Jacqueline Jonklaas. Believe that Jacquie is well-known to many ATA members but an introduction is still in order. She is a Professor in the Division of Endocrinology at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, where she completed her medical degree, residency, and fellowship training.
