As Chair of the International Clinical Ethics Section of A.S.P.E.N.’ I would like to thank the A.S.P.E.N. staff for the tremendous support they have provided the I.C. Ethics Section during this past year. Our projects would not have been possible without their dedication, support, and vision, which will culminate at CNW 2015. Thank you, Denise
