Remember—per Society By-Laws—attendance at this spring resident and fellow research forum now meets the Society’s active participation requirement so please consider attending the 2009 program and visit this page regularly for updates.
We also hope you plan to attend the
Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, September 26-28, 2008. The NESS Annual Meeting continues to evolve to better meet members’ continuing education needs; in addition, since its founding the Society has always recognized that one of the advantages of membership is social interaction among colleagues with the chance to "swap" experience, opinion, as well as the latest news of friends.
