I have been the CEO at the Medical Society of PEI since January 2014, when I was hired to modernize the organization. I joined CSAE after attending the Annual Symposium for Chief Elected and Staff Officers. This is now an annual rite of passage for me to attend with our president-elect. The symposium has changed the way I think about association governance, and how a healthy relationship between the senior elected officer and its CEO can drive organizational performance.

The symposium has contributed to the organizational transformation that has occurred under my leadership and the new ventures we are pursuing in service of our physician members, which includs developing a master’s program in leadership, working with government to overhaul physician recruitment, and adopting interest-based bargaining.
