CNSF GOVERNANCE

A Board of Directors governs the CNSF. The Board consists of two members (the President and Vice President) from each of the four Societies, the President and two Vice-Presidents of the Board who are appointed from the general membership of the four Societies, one Neurology or Neurosurgery resident (alternating), the immediate Past-Chair of the Board (non-voting), and the CNSF CEO (non-voting). The Governance Committee consists of the CNSF President and the Presidents of the 4 member Societies, who serve as a nominating committee.


Your Congress Abstract Book is included with the May issue of the Journal. There will not be another distribution of the Abstract Book at the Congress, so bring your Abstract book with you for reference during poster and platform sessions.

Preferential Rates

We need your help!
Please support the CNSF Congress by booking your accommodations in one of the official Congress hotels, the Fairmont Empress (where the largest block is available) or the Marriott. Accommodations reserved elsewhere may be less expensive but in reality you and the CNSF lose benefits, such as: Complimentary meeting space for the Congress, for committee meetings and social activities.
If we don’t fill our block, especially at the Empress the CNSF Congress pays substantial penalty fees and ultimately these penalties result in a more expensive Congress next year. So please help us by staying at one of our Official hotels!

Your loyalty and cooperation is appreciated.
