2024 Fall House of Delegates Meeting

Oct 19, 2024
Wynn Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV

Get involved with what matters most to you as both a pathologist and a member of the CAP at the House of Delegates meeting. It’s an ideal forum for you to engage with CAP leadership—and an opportunity for CAP leadership to hear your insights on the needs of pathologists.

Listen and be heard as you connect and engage with your peers and CAP leaders alike. The HOD meeting is a place to learn and to share information on issues that impact pathologists. It’s a chance to influence and advocate on behalf of our specialty. Perhaps most importantly, it’s your opportunity to impact the future of pathology.

So join us in person at the glamorous Wynn Las Vegas for the 2024 Fall HOD meeting.

A View From The Hill
Speaker Bob Cusack has developed a nuanced, insider's knowledge of policy and politics over his years, evolving from his post at the most respected news organization in Congressional circles. His main observation? Politics has become much more partisan than it used to be. Cusack's illuminating presentations are the definitive source for learning what's happening behind-the-scenes in the halls of Congress, how it could affect you, and what makes Washington's leaders tick.
