Dear Dowites
At the 2008 DOGANA Winter Meeting at DOW, a new initiative was under taken by DOGANA in collaboration with the DOW faculty on the request of Professor Masood Hameed Khan, Vice Chancellor, DUHS. The goals of the forum are:
1. Collaborative efforts between researchers in USA and students and faculty of DUHS for projects initiated in USA. DUHS has all institutional support in place including an IRB and a department to support and monitor clinical research.
2. Research mentoring to guide and assist in developing concepts for research projects initiated at DUHS, grant writing process, collection of data and preparing manuscripts for publication. This will essentially be a mentoring effort from DOGANA members.

Looking forward to your participation.
M. Nasar Qureshi, MD, PhD: Chair

DOW Link 2008 - History of DOW Issue |
|
This year started with a great deal of interest and enthusiasm from the members. I had requested many Dowites, who in the past had reservation with the affairs of DOGANA, to volunteer for DOGANA. I am pleased to say that I have convinced many of them and we have involved a record number of members in routine working of DOGANA. Our goal is to bring new people and fresh ideas forward.
I am happy to report to you that in this short time we have already set in motion many important functions of DOGANA. The executive council has appointed all committees with maximum participation. A budget was presented and approved. The introductory edition of Downlink should be in your hands by now. With the able and energetic leadership of Naseem Shaikhani and his team, they have put out this magazine in record time. They have already begun work on the spring issue.

Dear Dowites
I am very fortunate to be working with enthusiastic and talented Executive Council this year. A thoughtful reflection of past few years makes it evident that we were bogged down by trivial personal politics and political differences. I strongly feel that we need to get away from that trend towards a healthy and united DOGANA.
Our last few summer meetings were consumed by electoral campaigns and politics. Fortunately this year’s elections will be conducted by ballots and in October and November. This will allow us to have both of our retreat and summer meetings in friendly and cordial atmosphere.
We are looking forward to having a productive retreat in Chicago. Please join us with friends and family. It is a great opportunity for Dowites to network, meet old friends and classmates, reminisce about old times and to reevaluate our goals and objectives. Besides having an educational, festive and friendly gathering, our goal is to have an earnest and honest dialogue among the interested Dowites for the future direction of this organization. I also hope that we can foster interest and participation of many members who are usually not interested in affairs of DOGANA.
