Dear Colleagues Its hard to believe we are almost at the end the year but in this productive year EAST has flourished. We accomplished expanding on social media adding new benefits and growing as an organization. Our mission continues to move forward. From our ongoing social media presence including the addition of a Twitter Journal Club monthly literature reviews and en- hancing online programs EAST continues to enrich services for members. Next up is our Annual Scientific Assembly with new content revamped sessions and ongoing exceptional programming. Dr. Andrew Bernard and the Annual Scientific Assembly Section have helped shape what is certain to be a memorable meeting. Highlights include the Raymond H. Alexander MD Resident Paper Competition the Cox-Templeton Injury Prevention Paper Competition and more. New this year Bridging the Gap A Fellows Workshop and sunrise sessions have now become Todays Topics. With this Scientific Assembly the framework continues to fall under our taglineAdvancing Science Fostering Relationships and Building Careers. In fact along with our growing social media presence we will not only continue to use EAST2016 to promote the meeting but these subheadings throughout advancingscience fosteringrelationships buildingcareers. Keep spreading the EAST message by retweeting onsite. This year has seen growth in many areas of the organization and I have been proud to be a part of it. EAST stays nimble and brings forth its core mission with every project we undertake.
