PRESIDENTIAL WELCOME

Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to all participants of The Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada (GOC) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) event May 2 & 3. As we gather for this occasion, I am honored to address you as the President of our esteemed society. These past years have been marked by dedication, collaboration, and a shared commitment to advancing the field of gynecologic oncology. I am immensely proud of the strides we have made together.

Alon Altman, GOC President

This CPD event promises to be a momentous occasion, filled with insightful discussions, cutting-edge presentations, and unparalleled networking opportunities. Our esteemed lineup of speakers and experts will provide invaluable insights into the latest advancements, fostering an environment of continuous learning and professional growth. As we collectively embark on this final leg of my presidency, I am filled with gratitude for the unwavering support and dedication of our members. It has been an incredible journey, and I am confident that the GOC will continue to flourish under new leadership. I encourage you all to actively engage in the sessions, share your experiences, and forge new connections that will undoubtedly contribute to the enhancement of our practice and, more importantly, the well-being of the patients we serve. May these two days be a celebration of our achievements, a testament to our shared commitment to excellence, and a catalyst for future advancements in gynecologic oncology. Thank you for being a part of the GOC community. I look forward to cherishing these moments with you and leaving a legacy as we continue our collective pursuit of excellence in women's health.

Warm regards,

Dr. Alon Altman President, The Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada
