From the Editor

2011 stands to be an exciting year for the CCAS as our new highly talented board of directors take their seats and the CCAS membership continues to grow. 

I would like to take a moment and recognize Dr. Chandra Ramamoorthy for excellent leadership of the CCAS during the past year. Clearly the organization continues to attract the top talent in the field to head the organization.  I would like to welcome Dr. Jim Dinardo as the new president of the CCAS as I am confident he will carry on the torch of his predecesors. 

This newsletter is packed with educational and informative information that I hope you, the membership, find interesting and meaningful. The upcoming CCAS meeting led by Drs. Anshuman Sharma and Suanne Daves which is sure to be a continued success. 

As always, I invite the membership to become involved in our organization. Please feel free to contact myself or any member of the board of directors with ideas and suggestions.  See you in San Diego and, as always, remember all are welcome to participate.
