Newsletter #1 (January 1-31,
2009)
Dear members and colleagues,
We want to update
you on some highlights in CnAHA in January of 2009.
First, we
have completed the election of the new Board and Subcommittee Chairs,
thanks to the diligent work of our Immediate Past President Leng
Jiang, Business Manager Grace Palma, and our enthusiastic members
like yourself. Each Board member and Committee Chair has been
chosen to lead initiatives in their area of expertise as well as
CnAHA priorities.
Second, our next US activity will be
CnAHA/ACC conference on 29 of March, 29 (Sunday) in Orland, FL.
Dr. Dali Fan, VP, CnAHA will Chair the Program Committee.
Please mark your calendar if you plan to attend ACC. The
location and time will be forth coming. If you know of possible
industry sponsorship, please contact Dali or myself, we will be happy
to assist you to pursue that.
Third, our next international
activity will be the Great Wall International Cardiology
Conference/CnAHA Forum in Beijing in October, 2009. We will
start planning before, during and after ACC to send a group of 7
CnAHA delegates to the meeting. Like the last 2 years, we will
co-sponsor a symposium (Evidence-Based Practice in Cardiology in 2007
and Heart Failure in 2008) this year. If you have ideas about a
general topic that will be interesting to a general audience in
China, please let us know.
Fourth, we are invited to write
articles on cardiovascular topics for Chinese Medical Tribune and
365. If you have an interest in writing an article or lead an
effort to do so in your area of expertise, please contact
us.
Finally, I want to remind you to update your membership as
permanent member, member, or associate member. You can contact
Dr. Huahui Li, (<hli@umphysicians.umn.edu>),
our Director of Memberships, for forms.
We will update our
website soon with new information related to CnAHA.
I hope you
have a Prosperous and Happy New (Ox) Year.
Cordially
yours,
