American Neurological Association (ANA) Ideas Committee Develops a Speaker Database
The ANA is furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) through the development and launch of a speaker database. The database is designed exclusively for ANA members; therefore, you will need to log in to the ANA website for access. The Speaker Directory is on the Member Center page. Individuals who are listed have voluntarily provided personal information that will allow you to identify those who have expertise in a particular area of Neurology and those who are under-represented in medicine (URiM). We invite you to visit the speaker database when searching for an expert. Please note that all ANA members are welcome to be included in the database by completing the online form here.
