Our Academy shapes the arguments that advocate for our patients and our profession. This advocacy requires a leadership that is varied in background and experience, has an interest in listening to different perspectives, can weave together the common elements to build support for our patients and colleagues, and then can effectively persuade those in the public and private sectors to join in our Academy’s efforts for our patients and profession.


Mc Kinnon Brian Nom Cmte PrivWhat do you see as the priorities of the Nominating Committee in selecting the future leaders of our Academy?

I have been in practice in the military, academics, and now currently private practice. I pursed and completed an MBA, and am currently pursuing an MPH. My service to our Academy on the Program Advisory Committee, Implantable Hearing Devices Committee, Geriatrics Committee, Socioeconomics and Grassroots Committee, and Legislative Grassroots Taskforce has been critical to my understanding of what leadership qualities and abilities our Academy will benefit from. If provided the opportunity to serve our Academy on the Nominating Committee, I will use that understanding to seek out and support candidates who will be best able to advocate for our patients and profession.
