Annual Meeting at Pocono

กก

Dear member,

 On February 25th, 2006, the CASA successfully held the 2006 Annual Meeting at the Great Wolf Lodge Resort in PA.

 On behalf of the CASA, I thank each one of you for your support and participation in this event. Our members came from NY, NJ, PA, CT and OH. I'd like to especially thank Dr.Yanfu Shao and Dr. Yun Xia from Ohio for their special report about the CASA delegation to the 2005 Annual Meeting of the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology (CSA) in Guangzhou. Its success will encourage our members to attend the CSA 2006 Annual Meeting in Zhengzhou, Henan.

 Dr. Hamming Wang, the first president of CASA, made a presentation about the Malpractice and Litigation of Anesthesia Practice. The immediate past president, Haifeng Zhou, gave a report on the CASA activities in 2005. Our new President, Guogang Chen, talked about the CASA's future plan.

 During the meeting, most members and their families stayed at the wonderful resort, the biggest in-door water park in the northeast region. Everybody enjoyed playing in the water and skiing in the nearby area. The magic show kept the children entertained.

 Congratulations to the following newly-elected board members:
President - Guogang Chen, MD; President-Elect - Naixi Li, MD, PhD and Changzheng Wang, MD; Secretary - Vincent Xie, MD; Treasurer - Rouxu Yu, MD, PhD; Assistant Secretary - Tina Leung, MD; Assistant Treasurer - Xiaoli He, MD.

 It is my great honor to serve as the Secretary of the CASA. If you have any suggestions, ideas and information, please feel free to send email to: chineseasa@yahoo.com. I greatly appreciate your
continuous support of the CASA. For more information about the CASA and its annual meeting, please visit the CASA website: www.chineseasa.org.
