Report of the President
A report from MAAUA President, Dr. Harry P. Koo.
Dr. Harry Koo, President It is an honor and a privilege to be your President this year and I would like to thank you for this opportunity to serve the Section. Our most recent Annual Meeting, held this past October at the Nemacolin Woodlands property in Pennsylvania, was a great success. Dr. Bud Burnett and the Program Committee organized a fabulous scientific program. Dr. and Mrs. Jay Miller, along with Local Arrangements Chair, Dr. Joseph Leoni and his wife, Peggy, put together a fun and relaxing social program. The "Home on the Mountain Range" Reception provided us with a country western welcome in the Allegheny Mountains and we also enjoyed a lovely President’s Reception and Banquet at the Nemacolin Woodlands property.

Secretary's Message
An update from Dr. Louis Keeler, III, Secretary of the Mid-Atlantic Section, AUA.
MAAUA Secretary Louis Keeler III, MD I would like to begin by thanking the Mid-Atlantic Section membership and its industry supporters for a successful 2010 Annual Meeting at the Nemacolin property in Pennsylvania last September. We hosted 152 professional attendees, 23 guests and spouses, and were joined by many industry representatives from 47 exhibiting companies and 10 sponsoring organizations – a truly great mix of colleagues and friends. Excellent science was presented over that weekend, thanks to Bud Burnett and his Program Committee, and I hope all in attendance enjoyed the atmosphere and activities the Nemacolin area had to offer...

Young Urologist Committee
Tiffany M. Sotelo, MD
Section Representative to the AUA Young Urologist CommitteeThe Young Urologists Committee's mission is to address the needs of urologists 10 years or less out of training. Since its inception in 2004, the Committee has hosted a Forum held at the AUA Annual Meeting with topics that have included malpractice defense, maintenance of certification, utilization of physician extenders and revenue opportunities. It has been the goal of Committee leadership to expand the Young Urologists Committee's role to provide more to young AUA members. Representatives from all Sections of the AUA share thoughts and provide feedback during Committee meetings and work to develop goals, tools, and activities for young urologists.
