CHICAGO – June 27, 2024 – On Aug. 1, the national office of AAST will move from Chicago to nearby Darien, Illinois, as part of a new management services agreement between AAST and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. 

“AAST has a longstanding and collaborative relationship with the AASM, and our members will benefit greatly from the management services and organizational support that the AASM will provide,” said AAST President Emerson Kerr. “This move is an exciting transition for AAST, and it will strengthen our efforts to meet the professional and educational needs of our members.”
