International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery Reorganizes

To meet its growing needs, the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery (ISASS) has welcomed a new management team.

According to the spine surgeon society, the organization has contracted with the Management Services Program of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). The new management team will operate under the direction of the ISASS Board.

Jeffrey Goldstein, M.D., immediate past president of ISASS and chief of spine surgery-education at NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital in New York, told OTW, “ISASS membership has grown steadily, and remains the largest society devoted to spine surgeons, spine surgery and spine patient advocacy.”

“We felt it was time to broaden and enhance our society management and member services. We are thrilled to have grown and that we are now recognized as the international spine surgical society dedicated to providing care to and for spine patients around the world.”

“This transition will be seamless to our members. Our mailing address has changed but our email and phone numbers have not. Our new management is located in a headquarters which offers access to both an educational lab and learning center. Our new Director, Nikki Golden, CAE can be reached at golden@ISASS.org.”

“Our future remains promising and ISASS remains an entirely independent organization. We will continue to look for opportunities to expand surgeon participation in the society through our committees and educational offerings.”

“We will retain our info@isass.org email address, and our phone number, (630) 375-1432. Our new headquarters will be located at 9400 West Higgins Road, in Rosemont, Illinois.”
