This year marks the ten-year anniversary of the ATS Corporate Member Program which serves as a forum to facilitate transparent discussions between the ATS and our colleagues in industry about issues and trends that may impact medicine and the advancement of science and patient care. In October, the ATS held its first virtual Corporate Member Annual Meeting, giving members the opportunity to engage in timely discussions with ATS leadership and executive staff as well as other industry colleagues and help brainstorm new ways of serving our membership in the virtual sphere. At this meeting, ATS leadership honored six companies, shown below, for their commitment and support as ATS Corporate Members from 2010 – 2020.
Starting with just 13 companies in 2010, today the program has almost tripled in size to 36 companies that are Corporate Members of the Society. Since its inception, the program has welcomed companies of all sizes to participate, providing engagement and visibility benefits that are interspersed at four different levels of support. Out of the over 17,000 ATS members worldwide, more than 10 percent are employed in industry. One of the most integral parts of the Corporate Member Program is to function as a working advisory board, serving as an apex of collaboration within the society to foster and advance the field together.
Over the past decade, the ATS Corporate Member Program has been an instrumental part of supporting the mission of the ATS and building the foundation for successful industry partnerships in the joined goal of advancing patient care. As Dr. Craig Conoscenti, MD, ATSF, member of the DDDD Committee and BEAR Cage Panelist writes “Boehringer Ingelheim has been a proud corporate member of the ATS. We strongly support the goals and objectives of the ATS and look forward to many more years of collaboration.”
