Wants to see medical cannabis removed from the list of banned substances in the NFL. “On March 9, 2016, I became the first active NFL player to openly advocate for the use of cannabinoids to treat chronic pain and sports-related injuries. It’s time for the NFL to change its archaic standards to better protect its players and set an example for our young athletes. For too long, I’ve watched my teammates and good friends battle with opioid addiction and leave the game with a long road still ahead; it’s time to make a change.” – Eugene Monroe Lansing Mayor, virg Bernero Mayor of the City of Lansing, MI, Mayor Virg Bernero is now in his 8th year as chief executive of Michigan’s sixth largest city.

  • Issue No.122 February 2020 AAHM in ANN ARBOR
    Issue No.122 February 2020 AAHM IN ANN ARBOR We look forward to welcoming you to Ann Arbor in early May 2020! We are excited that most of the conference will take place at the historic Michigan League, with its comfortable and aesthetically interesting rooms. This meeting will differ from many previous AAHM gatherings given that the primary venue is located about 2 miles away from the main conference hotel, the Kensington Hotel. The Kensington is the site for Thursday’s afternoon events, including the opening reception, and Sunday’s morning sessions. Activities on Friday and Saturday will be at the Michigan League. These activities include the book exhibit and awards ceremony, which will be in the wonderful League ballroom. The presidential address will be delivered by two of our most distinguished Susans—Susan Lederer and Susan C. Lawrence on Friday morning. It will be in the League’s Mendelssohn theater. The Garrison lecture, delivered by Evelynn Hammonds of Harvard University, will be held on Friday afternoon in the historically important and recently renovated Rackham auditorium. Since the busiest days of the conference will take place away from the home hotel, we have put great care and energy into arranging for accessible and regularized transportation options. We want to ensure that everyone has the necessary information to navigate the conference and enjoy their time in Ann Arbor. We will have volunteers and detailed maps and instructions to make movement between sites as seamless as possible. The program itself is designed to optimize your time at the conference. Getting to Ann Arbor: Ann Arbor is accessible via plane, train, bus, and car.
