Millennium Society

As our Academy of ORL-HNS becomes more engaged in EBM research and sociopolitical activities, it is imperative that we support this process beyond our yearly dues. The Millennium Society is an excellent vehicle to achieve that purpose. - C. Ron Cannon, MD; AAO-HNS/F President, 2005-06

Join the Millennium Society today!The Millennium Society, established by the Board of Directors, is a group of Academy members who believe in the Foundation's mission and generously provide financial support to help us achieve the Foundation's initiatives. Membership in the Society is achieved by either an annual gift of at least $1,000, or cumulative gifts throughout the year that equal $1,000 (or, $250 for residents and young physicians). Beginning in 2008, the program year runs January 1 through December 31.
