Abstract

The Young Neurosurgeons Committee (YNC), founded in 1991 by Dr. Roberto C. Heros, has been a vital component of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS). It has grown from an opportunity for young neurosurgeons to network with senior neurosurgeons to becoming the major voice of young neurosurgeons and a training ground for the future leaders of organized neurosurgery. This article reviews the leadership involvement of 168 past YNC members and briefly highlights the careers of four of these members who have attained leadership positions in neurosurgery.
