See You in Orlando!

Dr. FlackBy Sean Flack, MBChB, FCA
SPA News Editor

Ahead of our annual meeting in Orlando, I’m delighted to share this edition of SPAnews with everyone. At the same time, we are mindful of the recent devastation Hurricane Dorian inflicted upon the Bahamas, our venue for the 2020 SPA-AAP, CCAS and SPPM meetings. Our resort venue was not affected, and the meetings will proceed as planned. Visiting the islands and spending money at their resorts is the very best way to support their recovery efforts. For more information, please follow this link.

  • Reservations for SPA-AAP Pediatric Anesthesiology can be made here.
  • Hotel reservations are available here.
  • Very importantly, the abstract submission deadline is November 1. Submit your abstract here.

There is much to read and digest in the newsletter. I am so grateful to all the contributors and collaborators who make every edition possible. Members of the Communications Committee spend many hours creating the content and without their efforts, there would be no newsletter. So, to all of you who have contributed, now or in the past or future, my sincere  thanks and gratitude.

As you will read, SPA members are busy with a myriad of endeavors on behalf of our patients. It’s an exciting time to be involved with SPA and I encourage everyone to be active on a committee, special interest group or collaborative. The board continues to execute the strategic plan prepared 18 months ago and the work of the various planning groups will lead to measurable improvements that will benefit all members. It’s a great time to be involved. Please do share with any of us on the board any ideas you have for further enhancing the society.

Travel safely to Orlando!
