In the year 2001, we began a new millennium, but for many of us a more important beginning occurred the next year with the formation of the National Lipid Association. I had the good fortune to be there with my colleagues as we made the decision to convince Christopher Seymour to become our Executive Director. At the time, we were the Southeast Lipid Association (SELA).

The basic mission of the NLA is to stimulate and guide improvement in clinical lipidology in all appropriate medical settings.
