The Foundation of the NLA has already had an extremely eventful 2017 with many new, exciting plans for its future and direction. The Foundation Board of Directors met in January to discuss our goals, strategy and upcoming plans. The discussions at this meeting led to a new mission, vision and values that we will now operate under moving forward:

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.

When Dr. Maria Lopes-Virella and I took on joint editorship of the first issue of LipidSpin all those years ago, I remember feeling like we were responsible for a newborn baby named clinical lipidology. At that time, the National Lipid Association (NLA) had grown from a local lipid association, the Southeast Lipid Association (SELA) under the guidance and vision of Dr.

On the 15th Anniversary of the National Lipid Association, it is with some nostalgia and a considerable amount of pride that I remember the beginning of the Association and the birth of LipidSpin. The main function of LipidSpin, created soon after the incorporation of the Southeast Lipid Association (SELA), was to create means of communication with our members and be a resource for them.

As a young Lipidologist starting a lipid clinic there were very few colleagues and mentors to turn to. Just as the NLA was young and germinating, so was the internet and a search quickly led me to the Southeast Lipid Association (SELA). I joined as an upstart New Yorker and soon was swept up by the momentum and inertia of the times. As SELA morphed into the NLA, I was asked to join the Northeast Lipid Association (NELA) board and soon met and worked with many of our key founding members.
