Are you ready to make a difference? If so, the Section for Residents and Fellows is seeking candidates to apply for positions on the SRF Governing Council and Appointed Officers. Voting for officers will take place during the SRF General Assembly at the Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO on Monday, September 22, 2008. Apply Now! Deadline: September 2, 2008.

Another way you can make a difference is by submitting a resolution.  A resolution is a request for the Section to take action, consider an idea or strategy, and/or adopt policy or take a position.  Getting some colleagues with the same opinion to “co-sponsor” the resolution only makes it stronger.
