I’ll conclude this column the same way I started my first one, by thanking each of you, colleagues and friends, for the honor of serving you during 2010–2011. To the volunteers and staff, I want to extend a special thank-you. The ACR is able to accomplish all that it does through the leadership of Mark Andrejeski, our executive vice president, and the dedicated staff he has assembled. You have been strategic and forward thinking in your work, and because of this, the ACR has advanced rheumatology in the last year. I also wish much success to Jim O’Dell, MD, as he embarks on his tenure as the 75th president of the ACR. the rheumatologist
