President's Report
April 2019
Greetings from gray and cloudy Boston! We have been getting more than enough April showers here and are hoping that the sun re-emerges at some point.
I am delighted to announce that Electron Kebebew has accepted the position of the next Editor in Chief of Thyroid®. He is currently Chief of General Surgery at Stanford University and previously led the endocrine oncology branch at the National Cancer Institute. He is also a long-time ATA member who has co-chaired the upcoming ATA Anaplastic Cancer guideline and has served as an Associate Editor at Thyroid® since 2012. He will take over responsibility from current Editor in Chief Peter Kopp as of the January 2020 journal issue.
The ATA leadership, staff, and many members will be attending a strategic planning meeting in Phoenix at the end of the month. With the assistance of a professional facilitator, we will use the time to develop a vision for the organization in coming years, to update our formal mission and vision statements, and to develop both short- and long-term strategies for implementing our goals. It is hoped that the meeting will form the basis of new work plans to be implemented as we transition to the leadership of Secretary-Elect Jacqueline Jonklaas over the next year.
