WINTR

Dear Colleague:

Hello and Welcome to the home page of Women in Neurotrauma Research (WiNTR). The goal of WiNTR is to promote the careers of women and minorities in neurotrauma research at each level of academia, as well as in other organizations such as nonprofit, government, industry, and business.

We hope that you will peruse this site for further information, and that you will join us by becoming a member of WINTR. WiNTR is an organization for all ALL persons interested in promoting the careers of women and minorities in the field of neurotrauma research, including men!

Prior to the National Neurotrauma Society 2005 meeting in Washington, DC, we will hold an organizational meeting to discuss WiNTR initiatives on Wednesday, November 9th from 2:00 - 5:00 PM. Please join us, as we welcome your ideas and visions! All members of WINTR as well as potential members are invited. Following the organizational meeting there will be a ticketed reception which is open to all NNS attendees. Tickets can be purchased in advance when you register for the NNS 2005 Symposium.

With a new Executive Committee, a new logo (thanks to the logo contest winner, Dr. Eftekhar Eftekharpour at Toronto Western Research Institute) and a new year, we are looking forward to major advancements in the field and to upcoming events and opportunities to grow. We hope you will be a part of our development and accomplishments.

All the best,
