The conferences gather renowned medical professionals, educators, and public figures to share expertise and experiences, gain an in-depth perspective on challenges in medical relief, and address current updates and innovations in medicine. Additionally, the conferences provide a great opportunity to acquire Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, raise funds to support Syrians in need, stay up-to-date on the crisis in Syria, SAMS's advocacy efforts for Syria, and innovative humanitarian and relief work from SAMS and our partners. Advocacy: SAMS has become a leader in advocacy and engagement with policymakers on both the national and international stage. SAMS effectively advocates to increase political will around taking action to end the Syrian crisis. Our advocacy ensures that instances of attacks on healthcare facilities, challenges of communities under siege, and the heroic work of Syrian medical workers reach policy makers, think tanks, the media, and the public. SAMS strives to echo and raise the voice of our colleagues on the ground who continue to risk their safety to save lives and alleviate suffering. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 X Safaa Aladham Director of Finance 2029307816 1012 14th Street NW 9th FL Washington DC 200053437 Dr Amjad Rass President 2.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Ihsan Maamoun Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Hala Nas Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Samer Al-khudari Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Hend Azhary Member at Large (MAL) 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Wareef Kabbani Member at Large (MAL) 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Muhammed Mufaddal Hamadeh Ex President 2.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 David Lillie Executive Director 2.00 40.00 X 0 176711 5173 Safaa Aladham Director of Finance 2.00 40.00 X 0 130800 0 Dr Randa Loutfi Director of Programs 2.00 40.00 X 0 125500 0 0 433011 5173 0 0 1 0 0 Conferences 611430 326575 326575 Membership dues 900099 108852 108852 435427 435427 435427 0 0 54683 3415 4964 6865 23088 24137 5595 10595 235196 Business Registration 460 368998 210293 275127 258 247 210551 275374 1626 20 1626 20 X 208925 275354 208925 275354 210551 275374 66429 0 X 0 0 0 0 1 0 Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) 0 0 Program Services International Medical Conference 114046 0 0 0 0 0 0 114046 0 114046 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part I, line 3: Foreign expenditures are directly tracked and accounted for on the accrual method of accounting used for books.
