Student involvement is increasing with an expanding student leadership. All of our volunteers have worked hard for CNS this fall, despite their busy schedules. Planning of the May Annual Meeting in Vancouver is in full swing and picking up the flavour of the West Coast! Due to our overwhelming number of submissions for abstracts for the meeting last year we are moving up the date for abstract submission, so do watch for the deadlines. Our enthusiastic membership committee is doing a great job in recruiting members from across the country, our website is active with careers, timely announcements of webinars and is growing as our members send us their interesting information to post. There is a lot to be done, room for volunteers in different areas to grow. All the best, Katherine Gray-Donald President, CNS
