Dear members of the Korean Society of Echocardiography,
I am Jo Won Jung of Yonsei University College of Medicine Severance Hospital, who will serve as president for the year 2024.
I am honored to serve as the president of the Korean Society of Echocardiography of which I am proud for one year. Although I have many shortcomings, I will do my best for the development of the society by understanding the wishes of Chairman Hae Ok Jung, executives, and members to resolve issues related to the society and faithfully carrying out my duties as president, even though I am not good enough.
Following last year's 30th anniversary, the Korean Society of Echocardiography (KSE) will celebrate its 31st anniversary in 2024. Thanks to the leadership of the excellent executives who have led the society and the dedicated sacrifice and efforts of its passionate members, the KSE has achieved tremendous development and growth as an exemplary society leading the advancement of medicine which is recognized at home and abroad. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the executives and members who have made great efforts and dedication. Our common goal is to maintain these great developments and achievements and continue our good tradition to develop the society further. We would like to share our vision of how the KSE will grow in the future and share our efforts to realize this goal.
To this end, your active participation and cooperation are required. I will encourage more doctors related to pediatric cardiology, which is my major, to participate in the society, and I wish your continuous interest and love, and I look forward to a leap year in which the KSE further develops and grows based on everyone's efforts. Once again, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the members who are dedicating themselves to develop into a better society despite their busy schedules, including patient care and academic research activities. Also, I ask for your continuous support, advice, and active cooperation so that the KSE can further develop and grow through joint efforts.
I wish you good health and happiness.
Thank you.
