PRESIDENT’S VIEWPOINTMore Connected,United, andInclusive ThanEverThis year has dealt us many challenges. During times like these, we leanon our professional communities for strength, encouragement, andguidance. Despite our inability to gather, socialize, and learn in person,I’m immeasurably proud that our global endocrine community is now all themore connected, united, and inclusive.This is no coincidence — we’re a resilient group of change-makers and gamechangers who are committed to advancing the science of endocrinology andimproving the health and well-being of those we serve. In that spirit, our diversecommunity has embraced digital learning as one alternative form of connecting,and in doing so, obviated traditional barriers such as time and distance. This newnormal has propelled us forward and already demonstrated meaningful benefitsfor our expanding community.ENDO Online 2020 by the Numbers“We’re a resilientgroup of change-makersand game-changerswho are committedto advancing the scienceof endocrinology andimproving the healthand well-being ofthose we serve.”2 AUGUS T 2 0 2 0 ENDOCR INENEWS.ORGENDO Online 2020, our inaugural online conference, attracted more than27,500 registrants, the largest event in our longstanding history!
