July 18, 2023

Dear SFCP community,

I am delighted to announce that Cheryl Goodrich and Henry Massie have generously agreed to Chair the Scientific Meetings for the upcoming year! We are enormously grateful to all presenters and to Cheryl and Hank for restarting this essential program, which will include 1.5 free CE/CME credits for SFCP members for each program.

All Scientific Meetings will run on Monday evenings from 7:30-9:00pm and are a mixture of remote and hybrid meetings. Please see the schedule at the Scientific Meeting webpage – it is a great line up!

Many thanks to both Cheryl and Hank for their dedicated work!

Sincerely,

Maria Longuemare
SFCP President
