NDTA in 2012

摘要

As I am writing this at the end of 2011, I am hoping that 2012 will bring better things to our Association, our society, and the world. Of course, we can't do much to impact on the latter two big challenges, but I can talk with some experience about our Association—NDTA. Perhaps the most important word in any dialogue about the association would be "our"—our Association, our challenges; our standing; and our future. So below I have assembled some thoughts on a number of topics: some good news, some not so much; some facts, some comparisons with other associations, and some predictions for 2012. And of course we need to throw in a few resolutions for the year ahead.
