From our Prez

First, I want to thank everyone who made the trip to Indiana this year.  What a wonderful and invigorating time we had!  The presence of so many first time visitors was a sight to behold.

While in Indiana, the board of directors of the Androgen Insensitivity Support Group – USA held our annual general meeting, both as a board meeting and a public hearing for those interested in participating.

The decision was made to hold next year’s meeting in North Carolina (July 20-22, 2007), spearheaded by our dear Nancy Evans.  The meeting was dubbed “Sweet Tea & Grits,” and promises to be an exciting time.  The decision was made to continue with the three day format, a great way to make certain that we had an adequate amount of time to stuff a year’s worth of fun into three days!  I am looking forward to a brilliant time and hope you are as well.

The Board also voted on the inclusion of the terminology of “disorders of sex development” in our brochures and on our website.  This is very exciting as it keeps AISSG-USA in line with the thinking of physicians who see the new cases of AIS and other related disorders and will allow us to remain in the forefront of physicians minds as they recommend treatment and help families align themselves with others.

Finally, the Board decided that it was time to raise dues a bit; we are going to raise annual membership fees from $20 annually to US $25.

I am so excited to be the president of such an amazing and interesting group of women.  Every time I receive a telephone call or email from the group I am ecstatic to hear the voices of other dynamic women with AIS and similar conditions.  Please, feel free to contact me at any time with questions or comments.
