Dear colleagues,

It is a privilege to begin my term as President of the Canadian Society of Echocardiography. As the largest affiliate society of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, the CSE brings together physicians, sonographers, scientists and trainees from across Canada.

Our annual conference now reaches coast to coast, approaches 1,000 registrants and is broadcast globally. This reach gives our members a strong platform to share Canadian expertise, learn from international colleagues and advance echocardiography together.

I would like to sincerely thank Igal Sebag for his leadership, vision and dedication to the CSE. His work has helped bring our community together and set a thoughtful direction for the Society. I am particularly grateful for his leadership of our recent strategic retreat and for his continued guidance as Past-President.

I look forward to moving ahead with Teresa Tsang, our Vice-President, Sabe De, our Treasurer, and our Board of Directors. Together, we have an opportunity to build on this foundation and create more ways for members to contribute to the Society’s work.

Our priorities include expanding year-round education through national rounds and digital resources, developing clinical publications that support everyday practice, and strengthening opportunities for sonographers and trainees. We also want to broaden regional participation and deepen collaboration with our Canadian and international partners.

These efforts will depend on your ideas, expertise and involvement.

Our 2027 Echo Weekend in Montréal, April 8–10, will bring these ambitions together under the theme “Beyond Borders.” We are planning a program that connects disciplines, welcomes international perspectives and explores how new technology can extend the reach of echocardiography.

Thank you for being part of the CSE. I look forward to working with you and hearing what you would like our Society to accomplish in the years ahead.

Amer M. Johri (AJ), MD, MSc, FRCPC, FASE
