2 President s Corner Welcome to the 2006 NACMPA Dinner Meeting!! We are pleased to bring you course meals from LAM S GARDEN CHINESE RESTAURANT under the direction of Jie Shi, PhD (our local organizer) and our executive committee members. An excellent course meal has been prepared with a good meeting agenda to follow (see pages 8 & 9 for the meeting program). NACMPA has made significant progress in recent years. These include the issuance of plaques to officially recognize the contributions of past officers, initiation of the dinner program booklet, and actively participating in international workshops including the 2004 Chengdu Workshop (China), and 2004 Bangkok Workshop (Thailand). This year, NACMPA is co-sponsoring the International Congress of Medical Physics meeting in Hangzhou, China (Sept 3-6, 2006). Our association is able to provide 8 travel awards to its members for traveling to the meeting at Hangzhou. NACMPA also participates in the AAPM electronic Partners-in-Physics program (epip) by awarding up to 15 recipients per year. Other ongoing projects include the upgrading our NACMPA website and incorporation of the NACMPA. If you have time or ideas and would like to volunteer, please let me know. Have a good time!! Cheng B.
