  "My membership in ASCIP and APS has been a vital component as my professional development as a specialist in Spinal Cord Injury Medicine. The ASCIP national assembly has been an excellent way to enhance my knowledge base and to interact and get perspectives from colleagues in all the disciplines involved with ASCIP. It has been a great way to network with other SCI centers and has opened up a number of professional and personal friendships that I value very much. I also welcome the opportunity to serve on the Education Committee to be a part of this organizations growth as the preeminent organization for professionals working with spinal cord injury."
