The ability to submit a new meeting on-line is also available. A booklet of calendars containing current information on anesthesia meetings and seminars reported to the Society is maintained at the Executive Office in Park Ridge, Illinois. The Executive Office acts as a clearing-house for members who want answers to specific questions and advice on professional matters. Approximately 70 committees are readily available to supply needed information and advice. This is maintained, through the Society's committees, with other specialty organizations, the American Medical Association and other organizations.
