Dear Members, Colleagues, and Friends,
It is an honor to serve as President of the Western Vascular Society. I have long believed the strength of our society emanates from our dedicated members who are committed to advancing vascular care, supporting discovery, and preparing the next generation of vascular surgeons. I am honored and humbled for the opportunity to build on that tradition alongside you.
Please join us for our 42nd Western Vascular Society Annual Meeting, September 11–14, 2027, at the Hyatt Regency in Maui, Hawaii. This beautiful setting will provide a welcoming backdrop for the thoughtful scientific exchange, lively discussion, and enduring friendships that make our annual gathering so meaningful. I look forward to welcoming members, trainees, industry partners, and families as we come together to learn and reconnect.
Original research remains at the pride of our scientific program. Abstract submissions will open on January 1 and close on March 1, 2027. I encourage you to prepare your work and to support your trainees and colleagues in submitting theirs. The breadth of experience across our membership—from academic centers to community practices—enriches our discussions and helps move our specialty forward.
We owe a particular debt of gratitude to the presidents and leaders who have come before us. Their vision, dedication, and generosity have built a Society that values scientific excellence, mentorship, collegiality, and family. It is a privilege to carry their work forward while creating opportunities for new voices and future leaders.
Thank you for your membership and for all that you contribute to the Western Vascular Society. I look forward to the year ahead and to seeing you in Maui.
Warm regards,
Niten Singh, MD
