2020 Annual Report Captures Successes of Challenging Year It’s a year we may wish to put behind us, but to not read the 2020 Annual Report would be to miss out on how the Academy overcame extraordinary obstacles to end the year stronger and with more members than ever before. “2020 was a year like no other in the AAN’s history,” said President James C. Stevens, MD, FAAN. “Against a turbulent pandemic that endangered the health and welfare of our members and their patients, the Academy did everything it could to support your delivery of high-quality health care and increase the value of your membership. Virtual conferencing and added online education resources helped you continue to stay current with

your skills. Our advocacy successes improved reimbursements, strengthened telehealth, increased research support, and helped ensure neurologists had the tools needed to confront the COVID-19 epidemic. The Academy publicly declared itself an antiracist organization and recommitted to a proven track record of promoting inclusion, diversity, equality, and social justice. All of this and more is captured in this report to members.” Visit AAN.com/AnnualReort to read how the AAN’s actions had a positive impact for neurologists, resulting in record membership numbers by the end of the year. 
