Over the past two years, much has happened. It has been daunting to lead a society through a time fraught with unknowns. If the struggles and challenges of COVID have not been enough, the crisis of social unrest has also brought us to our knees. Sadly, the word tragic has become all too common in our vocabulary. Our society has reacted strongly. We are changing, learning, and adapting, despite the obvious fear, anger, vulnerability, and uncertainty of the times: our present and future. As a group, we are performing admirably, courageously and responsibly. Despite the challenges, we are advancing our field and incorporating new ways to teach. Despite the social distancing and isolation, we recognize it’s all about people: communicating and collaborating by sharing ideas and experiences and tightening our alliances. We have been forced to cancel two face-to-face annual meetings which were already well in motion (June 15-19, 2020 at Weill Cornell in New York City which was to be hosted by Estomih Mtui, MD, and Anthony D’Antoni, MS, DC, PhD, and June 28 - July 2, 2021 in Bellevue, Washington planned to be hosted by R. Shane Tubbs, PhD, PA-C and Joe Iwanaga, DDS, PhD). Kudos to Jennifer Burgoon, PhD and MOPP for organizing and reconfiguring these meetings to occur at the prescheduled times. The 2020 meeting was the best virtual meeting ever! It far exceeded our typical target audience – with more than 400 registrants (250 members and 150 guests). It consisted of e-posters and platform presentations, symposia with Q and A (reflecting on lessons learned during this COVID pandemic), exhibitor sessions and business meetings. The 2021 meeting will have a similar scientific format with a continued focus highlighting the Clinical in Clinical Anatomy. This year we will add various social activities to foster engagement, team spirit and friendships: daily coffee talks and evening events (a Welcome Reception, Mentoring Session, Trivia night, a Banquet, and a Jewel Heist). On Monday, we will partner with international groups to share our global perspectives. Nirusha Lachman, PhD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Clinical Anatomy and Robert (Bob) Morreale, MS, Administrative Chair, Division of Experiential Learning (overseeing these specialty areas: Biomedical and Scientific Visualization, Clinical Anatomy, Microsurgery training, Multidisciplinary simulation and the procedural skills Mastery) at the Mayo Clinic, will present a talk “Putting the Clinical Back into Anatomy and Anatomy Back into the Clinic: A Reciprocal Model for Enhancing Education, Practice and Research.” On Tuesday, our Presidential Speaker L. Scott Levin, MD, FACS, the Paul B. Magnuson Professor of Bone and Joint Surgery, Chair of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, a board certified orthopedist and plastic surgery (responsible for developing the field of ‘orthoplastic surgery’), and the Chair of the American College of Surgeons Board of Regents, will deliver an address “From the Hunter Brothers to the Perforator Kings: The History of Anatomic Dissection and its Impact on Reconstructive Microsurgery.” We celebrate Susan Standring, PhD with the 2021 Honored Member Award and Fiona Stewart, PhD, the R. Benton Adkins Service Award. This past year, we held a successful regional virtual meeting on Innovation in Integration which was cosponsored with HAPS and was cohosted by Eustathia Lela Giannaris, PhD and Alexandra Wink, PhD (October 3, 2020). We held virtual CART (Clinical Anatomy Round Table) Luncheons with Anne Agur, PhD on February 3, 2021 and Rebecca Pope-Ruark, PhD (Keeping the spark: Avoiding faculty burnout) on March 10, 2021, the latter co- sponsored with HAPS. continued on next page Our society, which has prided itself on being safe and inclusive, is fighting louder against discrimination, racism and sexual harassment. We have added an ad hoc Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee led by Yasmin Carter, PhD. Sarah Greene, PhD is championing the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing. Executive Committee, Council and Standing committees have been active: helping make difficult decisions seem easy and fostering innovation. Our membership is engaged. Finances are strong. Clinical Anatomy is flourishing under Shane’s leadership. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to ASG, specifically Caitlin Hyatt, Jennifer Whitlow, and Kendra Tyner. Our society has always led: successfully dealing with these events is consistent with our rich tradition --part of our DNA. This is a time for optimism. Our individual and collective journeys continue. Armed with lessons learned, we will emerge smarter and stronger. The new normal will be different by definition. Our society will forge ahead. We look forward to the Fort Worth, TX meeting hosted by Rusty Reeves, PhD June 13 - 17, 2022 and with Tom Gest, PhD serving as President –and beyond… 2023 in Orlando, FL (July 9 – 12), 2024 at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, NY and 2025 in Bellevue, WA. The future of AACA is secure and exciting. We have a responsibility to continue to lead in all respects - at work, at home, and in our society. Be safe. Be healthy. Find JOY. Model this for others. Robert J. Spinner, M.D. The AACA believes that each conference attendee should be treated with respect and dignity and that any form of sexual harassment is a violation of human dignity. The AACA condemns sexual harassment and maintains a “zero - tolerance” for sexual harassment. All conference attendees have the right to participate and learn free of sexual harassment. The AACA will take all reasonable efforts to prevent and promptly correct instances of sexual harassment. Any conference attendee who believes himself or herself to be a victim of sexual harassment is encouraged to
