These three issues embody what I still find compelling about TMS: networking, dissemination of knowledge and service to the profession. I look forward—with the Board of Directors and our invaluable staff—to charting a path for TMS to continue excellence in the services provided to all our members of all diversities: young to senior, national and international, male and female."
