Dear CASA members and friends:
The year of 2016 has just started. As always, we take this time to look back at the year behind us
and look forward to the year ahead. Looking back, I feel confident in saying that the year of 2015
was a fruitful year for CASA. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Lixin Liu (刘立新) for
her outstanding work as the president of 2015, thank Dr. Henry Liu (刘恒意) for his excellent
contribution as editor-in-chief of CASA Bulletin of Anesthesiology in 2015, and thank all CASA
members for their strong support and great work for our society.
This year is the 14th year of CASA. As one of the earliest CASA members, I am very happy to
have had the opportunity to participate in the development of CASA. We went through some
challenges and made many achievements. Each challenge brings us together and each
accomplishment makes us stronger. Now CASA has stronger connection among our members
and friendly relationship with our Chinese colleges.
I am honored to serve as the President of CASA this year. In 2016, CASA will continue
cooperating with Chinese Society of Anesthesiology (CSA) and promoting its international
activities, including organizing a delegate to CSA annual meeting (Aug. 25-28,广州) and a Clinical
Lecture Group to visit hospitals in China. CASA’s QA committee (headed by Dr. Zhang Xiaoyan),
Residency Training Committee (headed by Dr. Wang Hong) and TEE committee (headed by Dr.
Huang Jiapeng) will continue their activities in China. To promote connections among our
members, CASA will continue organizing events and parties in US. In 2016, CASA Bulletin of
Anesthesiology has a new editor-in-chief, Dr. Huang, Jeffery. He and the editorial committee will
make the CASA Bulletin more attractive to our members.
The New Year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We all can help to
write a great story in CASA history by using our passion, effort and activities. I strongly believe we
can keep CASA moving forward in year of 2016. I look forward to working with everyone to raise
CASA to a new level. Finally, I would like to extend my New Year’s greetings to all CASA
members, families and friends and wish everyone a bright, healthy, prosperous and happy New
Year ahead!
