Led by expert faculty, and with panelists ranging from fellows to professors, we'll discuss what this process looks like at different stages in a career.

ATS Assembly Challenge Launching Dec. 3!
The annual ATS Assembly challenge will launch on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019! Each assembly will have until Dec. 31, 2019 to show their assembly pride by donating to the ATS Foundation. At the end of the challenge, three assemblies will be named winners:
- The assembly who raises the highest dollar amount.
- The assembly with the highest member participation rate.
- The assembly with most first-time donors.
Can your assembly raise more than reigning champions, Allergy Immunology and Inflammation? Or present a more united front than the Nursing Assembly, who had the highest percentage of donors last year? Will your assembly introduce the Foundation to newer members, and beat Respiratory and Cellular Microbiology for first-time donors?
No matter which core ATS mission-related programs inspires you, any gifts made to the ATS Foundation between Dec. 3 and Dec. 31 count toward your Assembly Challenge progress!
