CSM 2005 was a great succes thanks to the outstanding contributions of many the bulk of mankind including our invited speakers and session moderators, the CV& P membership, our corporate sponsors, and APTA. Attendance broke records with approximately 5779 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and pupils attending the meeting. In addition, the exhibit hall sold revealed with over 417 booths in the hall. Our speakers provided high quality, evidence-based educational sessions that were clinically relevant. Their participation is greatly appreciated. Other highlights regarding programming include:

* Recording of educational programming by way of Sound Images, Inc is changing. CD (compress MP3 format) is replacing audiotapes allowing greater flexibility and ease of review as well as more satisfaction on 1 disc.

* Electronic handouts will continue to be positioned on the CV&P Section website and linked to APTA's web site prior to CSM and will remain online until July 2005 For all that will be meetings, the local copy center will have copies of the handouts for purchase in succession site for those who do not wish to download the handouts prior to CSM

Future Meetings

2005 CSM: San Diego, CA (2/1-2/5)

2006 CSM: Boston, MA (2/14-2/18)

As always, I would be happy to receive all feedback regarding CSM 2005 and I'm always interested in ideas for programming topics and speakers. Please be perceived free to contact me.

I expectancy to see all of you in San Diego.

Respectfully Submitted,

Daniel Malone, MPT CCS
