The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) was founded in 1991 by a visionary group of leaders to serve as the active voice for clinical endocrinologists. Today, AACE has over 6,000 members in the United States and 91 foreign countries. From its headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida, AACE has reached out to clinical endocrinologists throughout the nation and abroad to enlist their participation in an association dedicated to the principles of patient care, education and clinical research which have made American medicine the world leader. Thousands continue to respond to this call. AACE's continued growth is a testament to the importance of its mission and the need for such an organization now and in the future. The AACE Board of Directors remains committed to the Association's mission and providing its members with an ever-expanding scope of programs and activities.
