CSA Wins ASA Day of
Contributing Challenge
2020 once again marked history for CSA's participation in ASAPAC, ASA's political action committee, which
helps protect physician-led anesthesia care in Washington D.C. Thanks to the support and engagement of CSA
members, and CSA Past President and ASA Director for California Paul Yost, MD, CSA won the ASAPAC Day of
Contributing Challenge. CSA placed first in number of contributions with 550 individual donors and first in total
contributions made with $104,500!!! Even during these turbulent times, we were able to raise $10,000 more
than last year - truly an amazing achievement.
Our success this year can be traced directly to CSA's organizational structure, which now includes both
geographic districts and practice forums, and the active engagement by our new district and forum directors
and delegates themselves. In addition to the generous contributions of hundreds of individual CSA members,
also making significant contributions to our successful effort were the CSA Board of Directors, led by President
Jeff Poage, MD, FASA, CSA's committee chairs, CSA's Past Presidents and many of the Resident programs.
We're pleased to recognize CSA leaders whose committees, districts, and forums were top performers.
District 4 - Jeffrey Rusheen, MD, Director
Medium Practice Forum - Gerard Dang, MD, Director
Bylaws - Christina Menor, MD, Chair
Distinguished Service Award - Sam Wald, MD, MBA, FASA, Chair
Membership - Eugenia Ayrian, MD, Chair
