not coming . too much time and expense |
|
2. |
i hope it does not but , a cheaper hotel rate would be better bc when you spend a few nights especially if you want to even see a bit of the town it starts to add up and I am employed by the university and funding is always minimal ,,,,,,,,thanks |

The annual meeting is very good...plan to attend regardless |
|
4. |
have to speak anyway...airlines have started to cut flight costs to try and boost travel |
|
5. |
this is my most important meeting of the year... I will do all I can to make adjustments in other areas of my practice before missing the ASSH Annual Meeting |
|
6. |
I attend every third Annual Meeting regardless of the state of my practice or the economy in general. I can not afford to attend more frequently than the minimum 1/3. |
|
7. |
I will attend. My wife will also attend. |
|
8. |
"Must" be there to support President Koman |
|
9. |
But the timing of the meeting prior to labor day will, as that week has been part of my summer vacation with family and friends. |
|

Your letter informing me I need to attend that meeting in order to remain a member provided sufficient reason to not renew. No other professional organization is so venal as to have such a requirement. |
|
11. |
I would never miss the San Francisco meeting! |
|
12. |
I haven't missed a single meeting in 31 years. I don't plan to let a little dip in the economy break that string. |
|
13. |
Am still planning on attending but the economy is definitely going to be a factor in my final decision |
|

for those of us who are pure hand surgeons we are at the low end of the reimbursement food chain. Tuition, food , travel, and housing adds up quickly. For those of us who are traveling cross country, it is tempting to stay a couple more days and do some tourist things. My income is down. People are putting off surgery for things they can tolerate much more than in the past. I hate to miss the meeting. Have been to every one since I became a member. |
|
15. |
I will attend on educational leave for my fellowship. |
|
16. |
I am not coming because of the expense of traveling to the west coast. |
|
17. |
location and ability to visit with other hand surgeons still major reason to attend |
|
18. |
have to go to keep membership in ASSH! |
|
19. |
Still watching... |

Wasn't going anyway. This question is phrased as a negative. I think that some people may click "disagree", when they meant "agree". |
