DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION WELCOMES

ANNENBURG ONE HUNDRED

Reaching a milestone in its brief history, the Annenberg Circle now numbers 102 members from the specialty and the lay public.  Known as the Annenberg One Hundred, this distinguished group of 21 new members from both the specialty and the lay public was responsible for the Annenberg Circle growing by over 20% for the second straight year.
