Thank you to our AAS Institutional Sponsors

January 29, 2016 by Eric Kimchi, MD MBA

As the Treasurer for the AAS, I would like to express our organization’s gratitude to our institutional sponsors. We have had a record breaking year with $206,000 raised as of this posting. The support provided allows the AAS and the ASC to continue to thrive in a time of decreasing support from industry. The sound financial position of the AAS has allowed us the opportunity to transfer $175,000 to the AAS Foundation for support of current and future AAS endeavors.
