This presidential address reflects on my last 2 years as president of American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM). It recognizes those individuals who have been of significant help and support. The address discusses choices I have made in my professional life including selecting physical medicine and rehabilitation as a subspecialty; committing to an academic career; and choosing to get involved in local, state, national, and international physical medicine and rehabilitation societies. I review my presidential speech of 2001 when I spoke about the path we choose-to succeed or not to succeed. ACRM has come a long way in trying to succeed but continued opportunities remain in obtaining financial security, increased membership, and cost-effective and efficient management. This address includes 11 suggestions designed not only to keep the organization viable but also to allow ACRM to succeed. These suggestions include a new commitment to our strategic plan and the implementation of prioritized goals, reorganization of ACRM's national office, and adherence to a realistic budget. Finally, we must continue to move the agenda of research in rehabilitation forward much more aggressively.
这篇主席致辞回顾了我担任美国康复医学学会（ACRM）主席的最后两年。它表彰了那些给予重大帮助和支持的个人。致辞讨论了我在职业生涯中做出的选择，包括选择物理医学与康复作为一个亚专业；投身学术生涯；以及选择参与地方、州、国家和国际物理医学与康复协会的事务。我回顾了2001年的主席演讲，当时我谈到了我们所选择的道路——成功或不成功。ACRM在努力取得成功方面已经取得了长足的进步，但在获得财务保障、增加会员数量以及实现经济高效的管理方面，仍有持续的机遇。这篇致辞包含11条建议，不仅旨在使该组织保持活力，还能让ACRM取得成功。这些建议包括对我们的战略计划做出新的承诺并实施优先目标、重组ACRM的国家办公室以及坚持切合实际的预算。最后，我们必须更加积极地推动康复研究议程向前发展。
