produce related literature and products for public release.
Individuals photographed will not receive compensation for
the use and release of these photos and will be deemed to
have consented to the use and release of photos in which

please immediately notify the photographer or an Academy
staff member if your picture is taken. Thank you for
your cooperation.

RHEBA DE TORNYAY DEvELOPMENT FUND
To quote Dr. de Tornyay, “We are a small group charged with setting the course for a large and essential
profession.” The effectiveness of the Academy, in part, depends on a healthy Development Fund. In 2012, the
Academy’s Rheba de Tornyay Development Fund is challenging each Fellow to establish their presence in
the Academy. The ways in which a Fellow’s presence can be felt includes active participation on an Expert
Panel or Committee, sponsorship of a New Fellow, Living Legend or Honorary Fellow, or gifts that are at a level
meaningful to them. When you consider a gift to a new Fellow, please consider a gift to the Rheba de Tornyay
Development Fund in their honor. You may donate online at www.AANnet.org, or on-site at the Academy
Shoppes Booth.
