Dear NERVES Friends,

As I reflect on my time serving as President of NERVES, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and pride in what we have accomplished together. Over the past two years, our organization has continued to strengthen its role as a premier network for neurosurgical executives—advancing collaboration, elevating best practices, and fostering meaningful relationships across our field.

Together, we have expanded educational programming, deepened our strategic partnerships, and created new opportunities for members to share insights and drive innovation in both neurological care and practice management. From impactful Annual Meetings, our Building the Best Conference, to the continued growth of our benchmarking and socio-economic initiatives, the work we have done is not only advancing our organizations but ultimately improving care for the patients we serve.

None of this would have been possible without the unwavering commitment of our Board of Directors. Their leadership, thoughtfulness, and willingness to lean in and lead have been instrumental in moving NERVES forward. I am sincerely grateful for their partnership and support throughout my time as president.

It is now my honor and privilege to pass the presidential gavel to Antoine Curtis at our Annual Business Meeting. Antoine is an exceptional leader with a clear vision for the future, and I have complete confidence that NERVES will continue to thrive and evolve under his leadership. I look forward to supporting him, the board, and the organization in the years ahead.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve this incredible community. NERVES is in a strong position, and I am excited for what is ahead.

With gratitude,
Jacob A. Rodman
President, NERVES
