Dear Member:
Happy New Year to NAAMA's members and friends! I'm honored to have this opportunity to serve our organization as president during this milestone year as NAAMA celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2010. We've come a long way as an organization dedicated to continuing medical education and the professional development of our members; to developing camaraderie among Arab American healthcare professionals and sharing our pride of heritage; and to giving back to our countries of origin and our communities in the United States through the humanitarian work of the NAAMA Foundation. For example, we will soon be celebrating the dedication of the only center for treatment of diabetes in the West Bank. Accomplishments like that is what distinguishes NAAMA and what propels us to work to enhance NAAMA in this new decade.
Become a member. There is strength in numbers and together we can do great things both here and abroad. It is a click away.
If you are already a member, become involved in your chapter and participate in our various activities through liaison committees.
Know that our Officers, Board of Directors and National Office staff are here to serve our members and our communities. We hope you'll call on us. Together we can do a lot.
Sincerely,
Saad Bitar, MD, President
