The Opportunity to Influence the Future: Election of Leaders
As Members it is the privilege and responsibility of all to vote for future leadership. The following pages present the official statements of the candidates. Note in the box on this page the details of the voting process. Voting eligibility is outlined in the AAO-HNS/F Bylaws, and reads: Categories of Membership and Voting There shall be the following categories of membership in the Academy: Fellows, Life Fellows, Retired Fellows, International Fellows, Inactive Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Scientific Fellows, Members, Life Members, Retired Members, Inactive Members, International Members, Resident Members, International Resident Members, Associate Members, and Affiliate Members. The eleven (11) categories of membership entitled to vote on any matter shall be Fellows, Members, Fellows in Training, Members in Training, First Year Fellows, First Year Members, Scientific Fellows, Life Fellows, Life Members, Retired Fellows, and Retired Members. The phrase “voting Fellow or Member” used in these Bylaws shall mean only persons within those eleven categories of membership cited above. Each President-Elect candidate responded to three questions posed by the Nominating Committee. They are: During your term as president, what three goals would you like to accomplish that would position our Academy best for the future? What would you do as president-elect to lay the groundwork for fulfilling these goals, and what would you do as immediate past-president to promote a lasting benefit? How would you lead our Academy in adapting to healthcare reform through advocacy, quality initiatives, and member engagement? In what ways could the Academy best empower members to participate and thrive in the evolving healthcare reform landscape? How would you increase member engagement within the Academy and improve the value members receive for their annual dues? While this section begins with the candidates for President-Elect, every position open is an important position and we encourage Members to read each statement and vote for the future they envision.
