The Research Foundation owes a huge debt of gratitude to Robert G. Ojemann, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard University and Past President of the AANS, for seven years of dedicated service as the Chairman of the Research Foundation. During his tenure, a more active member campaign, as well as a corporate solicitation campaign were started, increasing annual revenues from $85,000 in 1990, to nearly $380,000 in 1997. Assets of the Research Foundation have grown substantially under his leadership, from $2.4 million in 1991, to over $5 million today. Please join us in applauding Dr. Ojemann for his leadership and vision these past seven years.
The Research Foundation also is grateful to Julian T. Hoff, MD, University of Michigan and Past President of the AANS, for assuming the mantle of Chairman of the Research Foundation. Dr. Hoff has pledged to carry on the important work begun by his predecessors, Dr. Ojemann and Robert King, MD, and looks forward to leading this Foundation to the forefront of neuroscience research funding.
