Happy New Year! We are less than 2 weeks away from the opening session of our 47th Annual VOS Conference at beautiful
Sun Valley, Idaho. I just checked the snow reports, and they are looking awesome both on the slopes and at the Nordic center. The Sun Valley Lodge ice rink is open and ready for you to check out your skills, perhaps followed by a dip in one of many hot tubs located around the Lodge and Inn.
Our scientific program is loaded with great abstracts, and our social events will be better than ever. If you haven't already booked your flights into
Sun Valley (SUN), do so today! The airport is conveniently located just 13 miles south of the resort and free shuttle service is available. Arrive by Saturday afternoon so you can join your colleagues at the opening reception ... loads of great food, drinks, and the chance to get your registration packet, order lift tickets, and start to plan your week.
We will kick off the conference EARLY this year to accommodate the football fans in our group. The scientific session will begin at 12:45 p.m. and run to 3 p.m., followed by our Jacques Jenny lecture. Due to unexpected circumstances, our Jacques Jenny lecturer Dr. Leesa Galatz will not be able to join us in Sun Valley this year, but we hope to have her speak at the VOS 2021 Conference next year. We are very pleased to welcome
Martha Murray, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with the Sports Medicine Division of Boston Children's Hospital at Harvard Medical School, who will be stepping in as our 2020 Jacques Jenny lecturer. Dr. Murray was scheduled to be our Jacques Jenny lecturer in 2021, and we are grateful that she could join us a year early to talk about her clinical work and research. After the Jacques Jenny lecture, we will all then convene in the exhibit hall where we can watch the first half of the
Super Bowl and enjoy cocktails and heavy appetizers with a tailgate theme, all presented by our exhibitors and sponsors.
Make sure to mark your calendar so you don't miss any of the great events taking place all week. We will have
canine and equine sessions running simultaneously in adjoining rooms on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Our ever-popular sessions,
Complications & Corrections and
Imaging Rounds, will be held Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening, respectively. The
ski race and on-mountain picnic taking place Wednesday mid-day will be at the easily accessible Greyhawk Lift at the Warm Springs Lodge.
Wednesday night will feature our
Foundation Night event: Poster session, carving stations, drinks, silent auction and a TED talk by astronaut Cady Coleman. We will have a Kids' Party that night so you can relax and enjoy the event while your kids do arts and crafts or go bowling with our professional nannies. Our
Business Meeting, taking place Thursday afternoon, is open to
all active members, and I encourage each of you to attend and have your voice heard. Finally, you cannot miss our great
Awards Banquet on Thursday night, where in addition to celebrating our Bloomberg winners and ski race competitors, we will be honoring the amazing Maralyn Probst as she retires from her position as Executive Secretary. Please be sure to join us in applauding her!
Thank you for the opportunity to represent VOS this year!
Janet Van Dyke
President

SEND US TESTIMONIALS AND PHOTOS FROM THE SKI RACE!

Start working on your skiing and snowboarding skills, and plan to join us for the annual VOS Ski Race, taking place on Wednesday, February 5, 2020 at the VOS 2020 Conference in Sun Valley.
The race is generously sponsored by BioMedtrix but is now being named the Frank Rapp Memorial Ski Race, in honor of long-time VOS member and former treasurer Frank Rapp who passed away in 2018. Frank was an avid skier and a regular contestant in the ski race during his many years of active membership in VOS. We think it is only fitting that our race be named for him.
VOS Members: Did you and your family have fun on the slopes at the VOS Ski Race? Please send us testimonials about your experiences and your kids' experiences! We also would love to see photos of you and your family members taking part in the race so we can share them here! Please send your testimonials and photos with captions to secretary@vosdvm.org.
