As a non-profit medical organization, our goal is to update each other on advances in current diagnostic issues in pathology, and in the understanding of basic pathobiology. Our members are pathologists in practice or on the faculty of medical schools and universities around New England. Each year, we sponsor four major lectures, meeting predominantly in Boston. Several of our lectures are sponsored by academic medical centers in Boston, and are sponsored in recognition of a distinguished pathologist in the history of that medical center.

I am deeply honored to serve as President of the New England Society of Pathologists (NESP), a historic organization that has united generations of pathologists across the region since 1934. NESP has long been a home for collegiality, education, and the advancement of our profession, and I am proud to help carry this legacy forward at a time of remarkable transformation in medicine and pathology. As we look ahead, my vision is to strengthen the bridge between academic and community practice, empower our trainees and early-career pathologists, and foster collaborations that bring innovation and precision medicine to the forefront of pathology in New England. Together, we will continue to elevate the visibility of our field and the impact of pathology on patient care, research, and discovery. This year, we will also enhance our digital and educational presence, expanding opportunities for networking, mentorship, and professional growth through meetings. I invite all members—faculty, residents, and fellows—to engage actively with our society, share ideas, and contribute to shaping its future. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming meetings and working alongside you to advance pathology across New England and beyond.
