Governor's Message
Colleagues,
I am writing this after attending the board of governors meeting and subsequent Internal Medicine Meeting in Boston. At the BOG meeting business session, we addressed what was for me a record number of resolutions and am pleased to report that one of the resolutions that we co-sponsored passed. This resolution addressed the issue of the who the designation of "doctor" applies to and after some reworking of the language I feel what was passed is fair to all health care professionals and our patients who should know the credentials of their provider. You can find how the other resolutions fared through the 바카라 사리트 website. At the awards luncheon I was proud to stand when the Chapter Gold Award winners were announced, a big accomplishment for our chapter.
Saturday April 20 was my final day as your 바카라 사리트 Chapter Governor, and I look forward to Mike Spinelli's direction! I want to thank all of you for your support, the time spent reviewing resolutions, and your attendance at our awesome chapter meetings. I thank our Governor's Council for the time they spent on chapter business, and I especially want to acknowledge the work of Brad Bergman who has served as our very capable treasurer for a number of years. Finally, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to our Executive Director Carrie Reisig who works so hard for our chapter. I heard from several governors about the difficult times they had recruiting and retaining competent directors – one went through three directors in her four years as governor! We are so fortunate to have Carrie and as you should know, the Gold Award is entirely through her efforts and without her gentle reminders and prodding of our governor we would be getting nowhere.
It has been an honor and pleasure to serve as your governor! I hope to see all of you at our next chapter meeting in Billings this September!
