President's Report, October 2017 Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
My first ATA meeting was in Washington, D.C. at the J. W. Marriott Hotel in 1987. Gerry Burrow was president at the time. Colum Gorman, my division chair at Mayo, was secretary. I had an oral presentation and a poster as an Endocrine Fellow, the poster about TSH receptor antibody assays and the oral presentation showing work with TGF-beta on FRTL-5 cells in the laboratories of my mentors Bob Ryan and Nai Jhiang. I remember Chip Ridgway and Paul Ladenson stopping at my poster and asking about the work. I also remember speaking with Terry Davies and Basil Rapoport. These were people whose work I had read, studied, and memorized and the opportunity to meet, speak with, and discuss similar interests was amazing – today we might say "awesome". I was hooked. That was 30 years ago last month and I have not missed a meeting since.
It goes without saying that serving as President and previously as Secretary of ATA has been the highlight of my career. Between the terms of these two offices and a previous term on the board of directors, I have had the privilege of seeing the workings of ATA from inside the leadership now for 11 years, and after another year as Past-President I am looking forward to a bit of a break. I have enjoyed all aspects of this privilege and almost every moment of these positions. Because of this history, I believe that I have a somewhat unique perspective from which to comment about some items of importance to us.
