Greeting
Dear members of the Korean Society of Echocardiography
I would like to express my deep appreciation for you great interest in and support for the Korean Society of Echocardiography throughout the year of 2014.
The Society has finally become a globally recognized organization in about 20 years from its inauguration, further enhancing our pride on tis.
The AAE and KSE 2014 in last November were a great success largely thanks to your unsparing support.
Taking this opportunity, I assure you the utmost effort of the Society for the success of itself and the members.
In 2015, we, at the Society, will continue our hard work to contribute to people’s heart health improvement. I ask for your continued interest and support.
I wish you every success in the new year.
Thank you.
