A message from Dr. Dany Raad, MD • Education Committee Chair
Almost 100 colleagues from around the state gathered on Sept. 9 at the Renaissance Hotel Westerville Polaris for the OGS annual meeting. It was a great opportunity to connect with old friends and make new relationships. In fact, networking and meeting colleagues was one of the most frequently mentioned reasons of what participants liked best about this meeting, along with the quality of the speakers and topics, the Q&A discussion and the venue.

We had great feedback from the attendees. Everyone enjoyed the new networking welcome reception Friday evening and the format of expanded Q&A and panel discussion sessions and packing so much timely and informative information into an organized and efficient schedule. After the education, we gathered for a delicious lunch, an advocacy update and a short business meeting.
Scientific Posters
During the break, attendees were able to visit with the sold out exhibit hall and view 20 scientific abstract posters presented by our bright medical students and physicians in training. Awards were presented to the top three abstracts, scored in a blind review. Congratulations!
