Richard I. Whyte, MD
WTSA President
Normally, the late Summer/Fall newsletter provides the President an opportunity to reflect on the recent Annual Meeting, to comment on the current state of the organization, and to articulate goals and expectations for the upcoming year. Needless to say, this past several months has been anything but normal. More
Save the Date for the 2021 Annual Meeting in Victoria, BC, Canada, taking place June 23-26, 2021.

For over two decades, the Postgraduate Course at the Western Thoracic Surgical Association Annual Meeting benefited from the support of the Lyman A Brewer, III, Research and Education Fund of the White Memorial Charitable Foundation; and more recently, the PG Course received multi-year support from Dr. Thomas J. Fogarty. These endowments ended in 2016, at which time the WTSA Council sought new support to ensure the long-term viability of the Postgraduate Course as well as other educational activities offered at the Annual Meeting. To achieve this goal, the Council established the 21st Century Founders Fund.
