Congratulations to Dr. David Pitkethly, Professor Emeritus of Neurological Surgery, on his new role as President of the Western Neurosurgical Society (WNS)! The WNS was formed in 1955 by 30 neurosurgeons who were interested in creating a small, more intimate regional society in contrast to the large national organizations. It draws its 200 active members from Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii plus the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Membership is offered to neurosurgeons as well as specialists in the collateral fields of neurology, neuroanatomy, neuro-ophthalmology, neuropathology, neurophysiology, and neuroradiology.
