submissions to our Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine meeting this spring. The previous record was 350, and we received a whopping 501 submissions for this meeting. We have invited our abstract authors to also submit videos summarizing their work. These videos allow dissemination of findings to our colleagues beyond the meeting as we work to ultimately better serve our patients. Watching as a project goes from an LOI to a grant proposal to a study, from an abstract to a published paper and, ultimately, to 4 clinical practice, is an inspiring and exciting process. I hope you will join me in supporting ASRA's research efforts-whether it be through direct participation, reading the study findings, or even a donation to one of our funds. Our organization will continue to stand tall through the support of this key pillar. What else can ASRA do to support the research pillar? If you have suggestions on this or any other aspect of ASRA, please e-mail me at ASRAPresident@asra.com. And, thank you for your support of ASRA!
