Ways to give

ANNUAL FUND

“If we want to remain a premier society and sustain programs — those that directly benefit members and those that impact patients, the community and the specialty — the Academy will need more than member dues and meeting fees. And for me, it’s the least I can do; dermatology has been very good to me.”

Barbara M. Mathes, MD, FAAD
AAD Secretary-Treasurer
