The Society’s assemblies and sections will hold their annual Membership Meetings today and Monday at various Denver locations. All members and other interested parties are encouraged to attend these meetings.

The Assembly Membership Meetings provide an update on each assembly’s activities via the assembly’s leadership and provide assembly members the chance to have input on future directions, information on how to get involved, and networking opportunities. Voting results for the assembly’s future leaders also will be announced.

The Assembly Membership Meetings will all be held in various locations from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, with the exception of the Assembly on Behavioral Science and Health Services Research and the Assembly on Pediatrics, which will meet from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. today.
