Our upcoming publications include a Guideline for the Management of Low Back Pain. APS is delighted to be partnering with the American College of Physicians (ACP) on this project. ACP is the nation's largest medical specialty society, with over 100,000 members. APS members will receive a complimentary copy of this important new guideline.

APS enthusiastically supports the Decade of Pain Control and Research in anticipation of generating increased understanding and awareness. APS is developing professional and public awareness programs in conjunction with the Decade of Pain. APS believes the key to better understanding pain and how to treat it most effectively is through pain research and increased professional and public understanding about pain and pain management.

To support the initiatives of the Decade of Pain Control and Research, APS has recently developed the "Dream No Small Dreams" Campaign to provide financial resources to support the research, priorities and initiatives of the society and you, its member. In addition to providing the financial resources to launch new initiatives, the campaign will provide new monies to establish an endowment to sustain key initiatives focused on professional and public awareness, policy and research. Among the new programs APS will inaugurate is a small grants program as well as enhanced advocacy efforts in Washington, D.C.

These are exciting times in the American Pain Society-don't miss any of it! Give careful thought to the value of your APS membership and remember to make the best investment you can make—in yourself. Take advantage of this offer and renew your membership in APS today.

I look forward to your continued involvement and thank you for being part of the American Pain Society.

Sincerely,

Judith A. Paice, PhD RN
President
