Review

"ACSM has been a continued sense of community for me. Last year I was awarded fellowship, and this has been a major highlight of my career to date. ACSM has provided me great networking opportunities at both the regional and national level, and I owe a lot to ACSM for what I have been able to achieve in the first 10 years of my academic career.
