  2. Decide on nature of the topics covered and recruits speakers for each event, ensuring that multiple aspects of ADHD and related disorders are covered.
  3. Ensure that the Annual Meeting consists of cutting-edge scientific presentations that are of interest to researchers and meaningful to a sophisticated clinical audience.
