At the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), volunteer leaders play an essential role in achieving the College’s goals in Advancing Rheumatology! This year, 64 new volunteers were appointed to serve on ACR Standing Committees. The College would like to extend a special thank you to these individuals who join other volunteer leaders in making a difference in the field of rheumatology. They will begin serving in their new role in November at the 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
