Triological Society 122nd Annual Meeting at COSM Page 2 Message from the President, Sigsbee W. Duck, MD FACS I would like to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly welcome everyone to the 122nd Annual Meeting of the Triological Society. In 1896 our annual meeting tradition began at the home of Dr. Robert Myles in NYC and has now evolved to the JW Marriott in Austin, Texas. It has been a distinct honor and privilege to serve as your President over the past year, a humbling experience that will not be forgotten. The Triological Society is committed to supporting the best and the brightest in otolaryngology research. Last year, our Society funded over $630,000 in research awards (TRIO Career Development, Clinical Scientist, TRIO/ACS Clinical Scientist, meetings- travel, meetings-poster, resident research and Thesis awards.) This is a fact of which we can all be incredibly proud as Triological Fellows. Having the opportunity to meet and interact with many of these incredible young researchers has been an experience that makes me realize the future of our Society is in great hands. The Laryngoscope and Laryngoscope Investigational Otolaryngology continue to be the two best journals in otolaryngology. I want to recognize Dr. Mickey Stewart for his outstanding leadership as his tenure as Laryngoscope Editor draws to an end. I would be remiss if I did not thank the Triological staff for their support, patience and many kindnesses over the past year; Gail Binderup, Marsha Holbert and Beth Slovinski. Our Executive Vice President, Myles Pensak, MD, works tirelessly to keep our Society at its very best. Thank you, Myles, for your continued leadership and diligence.
