2023 Annual Report

OUR BIG 75 YEAR CELEBRATION!

It’s hard to believe that 75 years ago, on March 13, 1948, the American Academy of Neurology was incorporated in Minneapolis, MN, by a mere 50 neurologists that included “the Four Horsemen”: Abraham B. Baker, MD, FAAN; Adolph L. Sahs, MD, FAAN; Francis M. Forster, MD, FAAN; and Russell DeJong, MD, FAAN. By contrast, today the Academy is a global community of 40,000 neurologists and neurology professionals hailing from every corner of the world and representing every interest and subspecialty. The story of the Academy’s wonderous 75-year history is—like many great organizations— one that reflects a commitment to embracing continued growth and change in order to respond to members’ unique needs. Indeed, the AAN, like neurology itself, has evolved over a rich and fascinating past, and in 2023 we took the opportunity to recognize and celebrate its significant growth and accomplishments.

As you’ll see in this Annual Report, in 2023 the AAN saw overall growth in membership, especially among international members, advanced practice providers, business administrators, and researchers. We also saw success in our advocacy efforts at the federal level, including new regulations aimed at reducing the burden of prior authorization, the extension of telehealth flexibilities through 2024, and a new add-on code that significantly increases reimbursement for E/M services associated with providing ongoing care for people with complex conditions—like many of our patients. Our support for critical research also remained strong as we continued our long-standing partnership with the American Brain Foundation in its pursuit to promote and invest in research across the spectrum of brain disease.

One way we paid homage to the AAN’s accomplishments over time was through the new History of the AAN page on AAN.com. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to visit AAN.com/history to check it out. Along with the biographies of each AAN president, significant accomplishments during their terms, and revelatory interviews with key leaders of the AAN and the field of neurology, the page hosts a monthly series of AANnews ® articles that were run in 2023 that explored the circumstances behind the founding of the AAN and how it has supported its growing membership through the years in many areas. You’ll also find fascinating photographic archives, letters, and reports dating back to as early as the Academy’s founding, and newsletters dating back to 1970 that we’re certain you’ll find interesting.

With the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic ever further in the rearview mirror in 2023, members exhibited even greater engagement with our world-class conference opportunities. Both the 2023 Annual Meeting and the 2023 Fall Conference saw record attendance, with 15,347 making their way to Boston or online this past April, and a combined 1,000+ convening in Las Vegas and online for October’s Fall Conference. Even A.B. Baker and his colleagues who planned the first Annual Meeting in 1949 in French Lick, IN, knew that socializing and networking was as important as it should be fun. 2023 Annual Meeting attendees experienced no shortage of either, with a

weeklong array of fun-filled opportunities designed to celebrate our 75-year milestone, including the fabulous 75th Anniversary Celebration at the Museum of Science in Boston.

Inclusion is the reason the AAN was founded back in 1948—quite literally, to be an organization that is the home for all neurologists. Indeed, it is inclusion that makes us stronger, and why our values reflect our commitment to intentional action to be a fully inclusive, deliberately diverse, and anti-racist organization that respects and values our membership, our staff, and the communities we serve. To this end, we increased our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts over the past year by elevating our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Subcommittee to a committee, with the chair now serving as an ex officio member on the AAN Board of Directors.

Of course, one can’t honor and celebrate the past without embracing the future—something the AAN has always done. And your Academy continues to seek new and innovative ways to best deliver ever greater value to you, our members. One way we are doing this is by making investments in technology and making improvements that are based on hearing directly from you about your expectations and preferences, identifying gaps in our offerings, and ensuring we continue to meet your needs. These exciting investments are anchored to the AAN’s new education vision, which calls for content that is easy to find, easy to use, and tailored to the user. In 2023 we lived up to our promise of unveiling a new online learning platform on AAN.com that is easier to navigate with improved search functionality, enhanced video capabilities, and the ability to start a course on one device and pick up right where you left off when you go to another device. This is just the beginning as we double down and prioritize being a digital-first organization to position us for the future demands of the ever-evolving world of neurologic health care.

We are also looking toward the future with a much wider lens. In 2023, we released our new position statement on and vision for national brain health by 2050 that includes improving brain health at every stage of life, from a person’s earliest years of development to their oldest years. As champions of brain health, neurologists will be leading efforts with a broad range of other providers to work toward this vision, with our AAN Brain Health Action Plan calling for research, education, public policy, and direct-to-public messaging to achieve this future of brain health for everyone.

As you read through this report, you’ll also see how your Academy continues to be a financially solid organization poised to move us forward with our recently unveiled five-year strategic plan.

So, as we look back in this report on our many successes in 2023, let us simultaneously look forward with great excitement to how our ongoing efforts will continue to position us to better support our truly diverse, global neurology community and take us into the next 75 years and beyond.
