The Association for Surgical Education is a leading organization in Surgical Education. The mission of the organization is to innovate, lead, and the enhance the careers of surgical educators and surgical learners. The ASE has grown through the years expanding its offerings. This has been done based on the work of our previous leaders and the engagement of our membership. This year, we hope to build on the great work of the past. Using the values of empowerment, acknowledgement, and inclusion as our guiding light, we will further engage and harness the immense energy of our more than 1400 members, all of you, to enhance the mission of the organization. As your President, I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and working with each of you in enhancing surgical education. I am appreciative of this opportunity.
