What will happen with ASA business conducted at the Annual Meeting?

• The ASA will still conduct an Opening Session, which will include: introductions of newly elected Active, Senior, and Honorary Fellows; the conferment of the Medallion for Scientific Achievement and of the Medallion for Advancement of Surgical Care; and eulogies of Past President.
  
  
• The ASA will still conduct a members-only Business Meeting, which will include: the conferment of the Flance-Karl Award; final reports of Foundation Fellowship recipients; election of new Fellows; and reports of the Secretary, Treasurer, and Nominating Committee. Council, and Committee meetings regularly scheduled at the in-person Annual Meeting will be conducted via videoconference.
  
  
• Further decisions will be made, and updates will be posted after those directly impacted by these decisions have been contacted first.
