Dear Eastern Vascular Society Family and Friends,

It istruly an honor to serve as the 39th President of the Eastern Vascular Society.

As the largest regional vascular society in the country, EVS has the opportunity to influence the practice and training of vascular surgeons in our region and beyond. This is a tremendous responsibility and opportunity. The obligations to our patients and our profession are arduous, but the collegiality and friendship fostered within our Society ease the burden.

Our Society is diverse, encompassing community and academic practices and representing every stage of training and practice—from students, residents, and fellows to early-career, mid-career, and senior vascular surgeons. Our vitality as a Society depends on the engagement and contributions of each of our members.

In the coming year, I will endeavor to continue to fortify and grow our Society. We are working to increase support for the research and academic pursuits of our members and are planning to launch a periodic newsletter to enhance member engagement and keep you informed of the activities of our leadership and committees.

I welcome your thoughts, ideas, and proposed initiatives and encourage you to reach out to me directly throughout the year.

I would like to thank our Executive Council, committee members, and the membership as a whole for your dedication to—and diligent work on behalf of—EVS.

Finally, I strongly encourage you to join us at our Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. This meeting is always a highlight of the year—an opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues, engage in outstanding programming, exchange ideas, and strengthen mentorship across generations. We look forward to building upon the success of prior meetings to deliver an exceptional educational experience for our community.

Thank you again for the privilege of serving the Eastern Vascular Society. I look forward to seeing you in DC.

Sincerely,

Benjamin Jackson, MD

39th President, Eastern Vascular Society
