                <p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;"> The field of amyloidosis has witnessed many exciting advances in recent        years.&nbsp; It has been a great pleasure to watch the Canadian community        of amyloidosis healthcare professionals grow over this time. With this        collaboration comes enthusiasm for the development of a formal Canadian        Amyloidosis Society to serve this growing community.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The purpose of the Canadian Amyloidosis Society is to raise awareness of        amyloidosis in Canada through education, address gaps in clinical care,        support individuals with amyloidosis, and foster national collaboration        within the amyloidosis community of professionals.</span></p>
                <p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">The CAS is currently in the early stages of development, including        the establishment of a formal Executive Committee, membership list, and        development of a Canadian Amyloidosis Services map of clinical services,        identifying treatment centers across the country (with information accessible        to both patients and healthcare professionals).&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As fellow Canadian        amyloidosis colleagues, we hope you will consider joining this exciting        movement. As a member of the CAS, you will be part of a dynamic network        of amyloidosis experts and care providers across multiple sub-specialties        and disciplines through community engagement, educational opportunities,        awareness advancement, and collaboration for research and other        initiatives.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
                <p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">              To register as a CAS member, at no cost, and to indicate interest in        contributing your clinic/center’s information to the Canadian Amyloidosis        Services map, please complete the registration form via the link <a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspxid=7KAJxuOlMUaWhhkigL2RUV3g_7vFhtBCm2WYpb7e%20-YpUMUZNOTlCQ1dTNVJaV09NUzBJUFpCMzg5UC4u" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
