**Presidents Message**
from Dr. Michael Smith, AACD President

April, 2009 

Dear AACD Member,

The OR Management Workshop in San Diego was a great success. The meeting brought together members and presenters for lively discussions and insightful presentations. The Hotel Del Coronado is a historic landmark and made a wonderful site to learn about OR Management.   As always, the networking proved to be a valuable feature of the event. This is what AACD is all about – bringing together people who manage Operating Rooms in a collegial, and informative atmosphere.

AACD has a mission to encourage safe, efficient, patient-oriented management of operating rooms. This mission is best accomplished by an active leadership and membership, made up of practicing clinicians and administrators.

warm regards,
Mike
