On behalf of NANETS, I would also like to extend our thanks to the outgoing members of the Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and Nominating Committee. All of you have generously given your time and effort over the past few years, and your contributions have helped NANETS grow and develop into an organization that is recognized as one of the true leaders in the neuroendocrine tumor field. None of this would have been possible without your work and commitment. We look forward to your continued participation in NANETS in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Matthew Kulke
Chair, NANETS
