Extract

It is an honor and pleasure for me to address you as the incoming 121st President of the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA). Today, I will speak to you about the AOA's commitment to leadership and how, through recent changes in its activities, it has embraced the challenge to "stand up and be counted." But, first, I want to mention how my institution, the New York Orthopaedic Hospital, has been closely associated with the AOA and how I chose the title "Stand Up and Be Counted."
