AANS Executive Director’s Message

I am pleased to present the AANS/NREF/NPA Annual Report. We thank all our volunteer leaders and staff for their talent and expertise and our donors and corporate partners for their ongoing support.

The AANS remains committed to advancing our strategic plan goals:

  • Securing recognition of AANS as the leading organization supporting neurosurgical basic and clinical research.
  • Maximizing member engagement.
  • Maintaining the financial resources to sustain AANS’ mission.
  • Serving as the core resource for organized neurosurgery.

The AANS makes it the highest priority to work with leadership of the subspecialty sections and the Council of State Neurosurgical Societies on transparent budgeting, NREF fund management and providing the professional services needed to help these entities achieve their goals.

The achievements profiled in this annual report highlight our efforts focused on meeting these goals. We look forward to another year serving our members and progressing our mission to promote the highest quality of patient care and advancing the specialty of neurological surgery.

Executive Director
