ANA

Speak Up: Town Hall Calls Address Membership Proposal
President Eva Feldman and Executive Director Linda Scher will host two Town Hall conference calls to hear what ANA members have to say about the proposed changes in the membership categories. Please join your colleagues for one of the scheduled Town Hall calls:
 
4 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. PDT) on Monday, May 21.
11 a.m. EDT (8 a.m. PDT) on Thursday, June 7.

Under the proposal:
  • Junior membership would be available to those at the instructor or assistant professor level. Increased course offerings and networking opportunities will develop and enhance the careers of junior faculty.
  • Full membership in the ANA would be available to anyone who reaches the level of associate or full professor at their institution, an acknowledgement of the thorough vetting processes of academic institutions.
  • Neurology department chairs would earn automatic eligibility.
  • Honorary members would retain their status.
The ANA welcomes your thoughts! To register for one of the town hall conference calls, please contact Lisa Johnson at ANA -- lisajohnson@llmsi.com -- and indicate which date you would like to participate.
