We need your help in identifying outstanding leaders for SGIM. SGIM’s leadership positions offer great opportunities to shape the future of our discipline. This year, we will elect four individuals: President-elect, Treasurer-elect, and two Council members.
Candidates for President-elect should have a strong track record of commitment and service to the Society; proven collaborative leadership skills; and the ability to integrate SGIM’s diverse interests. Candidates for Treasurer-elect also should have a strong track record of commitment and service to the Society, as well as an interest in promoting effective stewardship of SGIM’s resources. Candidates for the Council positions should be emerging leaders known for innovative thinking and collaborative work. All candidates should have excellent communication skills with dedication to SGIM’s mission, and be recognized as persons who are able to deliver on their commitments.
Nominate your respected colleagues or yourself if you are interested. Our Bylaws require that nominees must be Full or Emeritus Members of the Society.
All nominations must be received by Thursday, October 20, 2016 5:00pm EST
The Nominations Committee will review all nominations and develop a final slate of candidates. Any candidate asked to run will be asked to fill out SGIM’s Conflict of Interest Policy.
The membership will be asked to vote electronically by no later than March 20, 2017. Election results will be announced prior to our 2017 national meeting in Washington, DC.
SGIM’s future depends on dedicated, effective leaders who reflect the full scope of our members’ interests, activities, and backgrounds. Please give serious consideration to finding the strongest candidates for these positions. This is a terrific organization and serving in its leadership offers a fantastic, rewarding opportunity. I look forward to receiving your outstanding nominations.
Sincerely,
Marshall Chin, MD
Immediate Past President
Chair, Nominating Committee
