Our leaders must exemplify in-depth knowledge and passion for issues that impact our Academy’s mission and possess empathy, accountability, and insurmountable energy. They must be able to identify and articulate salient issues that impact our daily professional lives and prepare the organization for future challenges. It is critical that these individuals engage and unite Members on key issues in clinical practice and cutting edge research while attracting future Members. Each should have demonstrated success in evaluating complex situations and outlining important next steps in a direct and tactical method to achieve strategic goals in a timely manner.
As a leader within our hospital, private practice, and as Past President of our Otolaryngology Society, I have extensive experience in assembling diverse, strong, balanced, and result-oriented teams. I have worked with outstanding individuals to prioritize critical success metrics and correlate this with the strengths of those around me—leading to the consistent attainment of desired outcomes. Communication skills, strategic thinking, empathy, and integrity are key strengths that I bring to any endeavor. I would be honored to share this with our Academy and assist in selecting our future leaders.
