Message from the ECNG Chair, Alison Cogan

 

Dear ECNG Members,

2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the Early Career Networking Group! All of our task forces have been very active during the last few months, taking advantage of the momentum and excitement from the ACRM Annual Conference last fall. I have enjoyed connecting with Early Career Liaisons from Networking and Special Interest Groups across ACRM and look forward to continuing those conversations.

Under Dr. Tolu Oyesanya’s leadership, our Mentoring Task Force launched a mentor-mentee matching program with the Brain Injury ISIG. Dr. Oyesanya has been meeting with other ISIGs and NGs to plan expansion of this program, so stay tuned!
