  25. Anne Schuchat, MD “For me, NIIW provides a chance to get out and listen and learn from the immunization providers and coalition members on the front line about their real challenges and needs. It gives me one more chance to understand the realities they must cope with, and to thank them personally. Although everyone involved in planning works very hard, the NIIW and VWA activities always leave us all feeling re-energized and committed to the important mission we share. “
