We would like to invite you to attend as a guest the Council of State Neurosurgical Societies (CSNS) biannual meeting on April 25-26th at the Hyatt Regency Chicago in Chicago, IL. Scheduled at the beginning of our 2008 American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) meeting, timely updates will be provided on current health policy issues and legislative machinations. This will include political reports from the Washington Committee, new payment and coding updates by the Coding and Reimbursement Committee, and Resolutions submitted by fellow Neurosurgeons pertaining to timely socioeconomic topics, which will be offered and debated.

And if you are interested in commenting on any or all of the Resolutions, please contact any of your State Delegates to the CSNS, or the President of your state's Neurosurgical Society, who will debate and vote on your behalf.  For more information regarding the CSNS, please visit our website at http://www.csnsonline.org.

See you in Chicago!
