Welcome

We are now in the initial planning stages for our 2026 meeting to be held in Nashville, Tennessee under the expert leadership of Dr. Ted Anderson. This will be a meeting not to miss! It marks the reciprocal joint meeting with GVS, our friends in the United Kingdom. We had a wonderful meeting with them in Edinburgh in 2023 and they are looking forward to the direct flights from England to Nashville! Requests are already being made for line dancing and I am very confident that Ted will have both a wonderful scientific program as well as many enjoyable social events! The meeting will take place September 24-26, 2026. There will be more information coming soon so please mark your calendars and plan to attend.

A particularly exciting change in recent years for the AGC has been the modification of the nominating and election process for new members. We are excited to see the younger doctors in our specialty who are rising leaders both in academics and in medical administration joining our Club! I would encourage our members to submit names and CVs of those they feel would contribute to the organization as well as benefit from meeting with our senior successful leaders. The process has been streamlined to allow members approvals each quarter, and attendance at our annual meeting prior to a vote of acceptance is not required.

We are a small and distinguished organization, and annual dues play a vital role in sustaining our success. Traditionally, members who reach the age of 75 are no longer required to pay dues; however, many in this esteemed group continue to contribute generously each year in recognition of how essential these funds are to the Club’s ongoing strength and vitality.

If you are among this distinguished group, we invite you to consider making a voluntary donation to support the continued growth and excellence of our organization. Your generosity truly makes a difference and we thank you in advance for your commitment and support.
