PRESIDENT'S UPDATE

ATA Election
As of this issue of Signal, I am pleased on behalf of ATA to announce the candidates for elected positions for 2017. Before listing them, I want to use a bit of space to remind and update everyone about our process for choosing candidates for the board of directors (BOD) and president.
One of the most important strengths of our organization is the tremendous diversity of our members with respect to academic and clinical discipline, including endocrinologists (both adult and pediatric), surgeons (with both endocrine and head & neck training), basic scientists, nuclear medicine providers, oncologists (medical and radiation), pathologists, internists, advanced practice providers, etc. ATA's bylaws call for the composition of our BOD to resemble that of our membership, as best possible. Each spring the BOD examines its current members, especially the members who will be completing their terms, and compares that to the current membership profile of ATA. It then directs the Nominating Committee to bring forward a ballot of candidates targeted towards achieving this goal and the committee deliberates with this in mind. For this year's election, the BOD directed the committee to bring forward 3 candidates for director which result in election of a basic scientist, a clinician, and a third candidate from members including oncologists, pathologists, pediatricians, nuclear medicine, and others not identified as endocrinologist, surgeon, or basic scientist.
Congratulations to the 2017 Thyroid Research Grant recipients.
