Congratulations to Fraser Leversedge, MD, who will begin a three-year term as Research Division Director for the American Society for Surgery of the Hand on October 1, 2016.  His nomination was overwhelmingly approved by a recent electronic ballot sent to members.  Dr. Leversedge has previous Council experience as a Member-at-Large and has also served on the AFSH Board of Trustees.  During the next few months, Dr. Leversedge will work closely with outgoing Research Division Director Kevin C. Chung, MD, MS to ensure a smooth transition.  We look forward to great things to come!
