D.  \nDear Colleagues,  \nDespite the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, asignificant change in the country’s political climate and battles over healthcare reform, the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ (ASA’s) members proved, once again in 2009, that success could be achieved if we remained focused on the Society’s mission of education, scientific progress and advocacy. All of our activities and initiatives were mission-driven, and as a result, we emerged from the challenges of 2009 stronger, smarter and more successful than before.  \nASA achieved numerous successes in 2009. Our administrative team is stronger than ever, and our volunteer physicians continue to be our most valuable resource – both hardworking and dedicated to the future of anesthesiology. When reviewing 2009, we know that without the strong base we have now created through the Organizational Improvement Initiative (OII), we would not have been able to achieve so much in so many arenas. Though we have much work still to do, our annual report highlightsour tremendous efforts in becoming the best medical specialty society in the world.  \nJust a few years ago, the ASA looked very different. Physician leadership at that time made the forward-thinking decision to make key changes. They envisioned a new, smarter ASA, and that vision is taking shape. ASA now has an award-winning branding campaign designed to alert the public to what we as anesthesiologists do. ASA has continued to increase membership by providing increased value to each member. ASA has implemented state-of-the-art fiscal management tools and is financially  \nPhysicians providing the lifeline of modern medicine  \nT n S U C C E S S F U L  \nstronger. ASA has a world-class Annual Meeting with educational offerings. We should all be grateful to previous leadership for their vision of the future.  \nASA is well positioned for further success in 2010. This year, ASA will embark on a new set of challenges that directly support the strategic goals for our membership. Some of these activities include: a complete Web site overhaul, new and exciting educational offerings, highly effective advocacy efforts in both the legislative and regulatory arenas, and support for the further development of the Anesthesia Quality Institute (AQI) . Formed this past year, the AQI will  \nfocus on patient health and safety by providing quality and practice benchmarking tools to anesthesiologists.  \nLeadership is never easy, but we are grateful for the opportunity to serve you through ASA. The Society’s collective vision is recognized every day in the individual successes of our members as well as in our achievements as an organization. That is why looking forward to 2010, ASA is best positioned as a “strong, smart and successful” organization ready to face what the future holds for all anesthesiologists. Thank you for being a key member of the ASA team.  \nSincerely,  \nPhysicians providing the lifeline of modern medicine  \n2  \nAsokumar Buvanendran, M.D. (left) and Timothy R.
