摘要

Good evening. I'm Jim O'Dell, and it is my good fortune to be President of the American College of Rheumatology. On behalf of the volunteers and staff who have worked to put this annual meeting together, I am thrilled to warmly welcome you. I am delighted to see so many members of the worldwide rheumatology community assembled here in Washington, DC. This year, we have an exceptionally talented roster of speakers and a truly wonderful program.
