President's Message for 2010

Dear Politzer Society Members,

Having been on the Board of Directors since 1998, I am deeply honored to become the new President.

Since1971 when the Politzer Society that was founded, great developments have been establihed in otologic science. The regular meetings have gathered distinguished scientists from all around the world updating knowledge and stimulating innovative basic and clinical research. The Politzer Prizes that have been awarded during the last 20 years have encouraged younger colleagues to develop research interests that have stimulated us all.

I have been excited by the progress the Society has made during the last decade. With my experience of the last 10 years and having obtained agreement within the Board I am now planning to create a new expanding mission for the Society.

Plans already conceived are ready to be realized. Worldwide national otologic societies, working independently are sustaining and developing clinical practice and science at a high level. I believe that by linking these national societies under the umbrella of the Politzer Society could result in a new power for stimulating innovation, change and education. The Society must take responsibility for this mission. Whilst event the simple co-ordination will give impact to scientific work, the prospects is open to many new developments. The feed backs to our communication with National Otological Societies is encouraging. Even the process has note been finalized yet, the preliminary consequences of this collaboration will reveal itself by creating multinational and multicentre working groups on previously chosen topics by the board of the Politzer Society.
