We extend our most profound appreciation to Oganes Karapetian, DDS, and Ara Airapetian, MD, who stepped down from the board, for their valuable service to the AAMS as board members.
We would also like to express our gratitude to our immediate past president, Dr. Galstyan. He took the reins at a time of unprecedented global challenges, contending with the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in our homeland. Dr. Galstyan provided strong leadership and guided the AAMS with a steady hand as the organization responded to both crises.
