News -> April, 2005 News
The Board of Directors of the American Rhinologic Society recently met for its annual winter meeting in New York City. The board was joined by its consultants and by the chairpersons of the various committees. Topics of discussion included advocacy issues such as image guidance reimbursement in ambulatory surgery centers. This installment of Nose News contains an article by Dr. Michael Setzen, chair of the patient advocacy committee, which details the issues involved. Great attention was also paid to increasing the value of membership in the ARS and to the recruitment of new members. Under Dr. Joseph Jacob's direction, the membership and credentialing committees have been charged with analyzing these issues and have come up with a number of recommendations that were discussed at the meeting. Dr. Karen Fong, chair of the membership committee, outlines some of these changes in her article. Website improvements, rhinology fellowship enhancements, and many other issues were discussed by the board.
The Board of Directors, its consultants, and its committee members serve for fixed terms on a volunteer basis. ARS members interested in assisting in any of these capacities are encouraged to contact Dr. Joseph Jacobs, ARS President.
