Annual Meeting 2009

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK

Monday, October 5, 2009 - Join us for our opening general session to AIRI's 48th Annual Meeting as we bring together leading presidents from AIRI Member Institutions from across the country. This was one of the most popular and most attended sessions each year. You will not want to miss perspectives from this year's panel of AIRI Presidents to include: Michael A. Cawley, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation; Michael F. Christman, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer, Coriell Institute for Medical Research; and Russel E. Kaufman, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Wistar Institute. The session will be moderated by Kenneth P. Trevett, JD, AIRI Past President, President and Chief Executive Officer, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research.

Northwest Pacific's only AAA Five Diamond Hotel Accommodations – This year's meeting will be in Seattle, Washington at the luxurious Fairmont Olympic Hotel, October 4-7, 2009. The Fairmont Olympic Hotel is ideally located in the heart of Seattle, footsteps from the city's most exciting attractions, including the famous Pike Place Market, Seattle Waterfront and Space Needle, plus a multitude of museums, theatres, shops and restaurants.

This year’s theme is "Capitalizing on Change". All of us have seen much change – both in the outside world and within our institutions. We chose this year’s theme to set a positive tone as we all learn to live with and make the best of the changes we have to adopt, implement, and translate into a brighter future for our institutions and research as a whole.

We strongly encourage you to make your hotel reservations now and register for the meeting. Early registration ends and the room block ends August 31st (although the hotel tends to sell out in July).
