As a member driven organization, the CAP should seek new ways to enhance and support our profession by fostering active member participation, strengthen advocacy and help advance our profession. 

To be effective means learning how to be a positive influence and change agent rather than just a loud voice in a room. Often this meant taking a long view rather than just constantly searching for quick wins or temporary solutions.  It also means actively seeking input. alternative viewpoints, listening more than speaking and valuing diversity.

I know first-hand the tremendous and lasting impact a strong board can have on the future of an organization. I hope to be a steady voice and positive change agent.

There are so many challenges facing health care and our profession and it will take continued commitment to excellence, tenacity, perseverance, and an unrelenting focus on patient care in order for the CAP to be successful.

The College of American Pathologists remains at the forefront of clinical excellence, quality, and dedication to service that is the hallmark of what makes a great pathologist. 

I want to bring my diversity of experience and perspective to the CAP Board of Governors to continue to advocate for the members of CAP and our profession. I want to leverage this experience to help the CAP set its direction and vision and to support the executive team to shape strategy, goal setting, fiduciary stewardship, and execution of strategy.

If through my role on the Board of Governors, I can channel the energy and passion of CAP members into positive good for our specialty then I will have been successful.

• I believe the perspectives and experience of CAP members should continue to drive policy and decision making.

• I want CAP members and all pathologists to know how hard CAP is working on their behalf. 

• I hope to continue to engage CAP members to help them realize the power of our collective voice to institute positive change. 

• I believe diversity of talent, experience, background, perspective, and skill sets when brought together produce powerful and unexpected outcomes. 

• I know how to build diverse teams, foster collaboration, and recognize unhealthy competition. 

• I am committed to diversity and inclusion and hope to build upon CAP’s efforts to ensure that leadership at all levels is reflective of its members.

I want to ensure that the CAP remains a sustainable organization with an undisputed reputation as the gold standard for excellence, quality, and a trusted partner in health care.  

Health care is in the midst of a paradigm shift in how and where we care for those in our community and country with very divergent paths. I want to be a positive influence as CAP faces tremendous challenges and opportunities; the choices we make now will impact the future direction of our profession. From navigating an uncertain regulatory and legislative future, adapting to rapidly changing evidence-based practice guidelines, addressing challenges of graduate medical education and workforce shortages, embracing new diagnostic testing, and balancing the certainty of a future impacted by the emergence of Artificial Intelligence with the uncertainty of what that future will look like, we must address these challenges and in doing so create new opportunities to enhance our profession and improve care for those who depend on us.
