With no official staff and no budget, assembling the national faculty for the first Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) at the AAP Annual Meeting 10 years ago required "a fair amount of personal coercion" and hard work on the part of AAP staff and volunteers, recalled Bill Keenan, M.D., FAAP. Dr. Keenan represented the Academy on the original NRP Steering Committee, along with Co-chair John Raye, M.D., FAAP, of the American Heart Association (AHA). With NRP due to celebrate its 10th anniversary at the 1997 annual meeting in New Orleans, Dr. Keenan recalled the program's debut at the 1987 Annual Meeting held, coincidentally, in New Orleans.
