Hello AMSA!

I'm writing to invite you to a very special lunch with the AMSA  
National President on Wednesday, Sep. 5, in Moos 2-650.  Dr. Mike  
Ehlert is making a trip to the U to share his vision of AMSA and to  
discuss specific action we can take here in Minnesota in pursuit of  
our goal of health care justice.  Given our members' evident interest  
in Health Policy and Global Health, I have asked Dr. Ehlert to touch  
on these topics in particular.

Mike is a graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of  
Medicine and is currently taking a year to serve AMSA's 68,000  
members full time at the national office in Washington D.C.  His  
academic interests have included spinal instrumentation and novel  
devices, as well as solid organ transplants.  His health care  
activism has included everything from organizing speaking engagements  
to organizing rallies at the 2004 Vice Presidential Debates, which  
were covered by national news media.

Lunch will be served.  Hope to see you all there!
