New Alliance for CME Board Members!

Mark Schaffer, Greg Paulos, Winnie Brown, Damon Marquis were recently elected to the ACME's board of directors. Congratulations to all!

Mark and I have worked together in the past and he is so knowledgeable and such a nice person. I am so pleased that he was elected to the board as I know he will help lead the Alliance to a bright future. Here is his position statement (from the Alliance website):

"Position Statement: Over the years the Alliance has grown in membership. However, as often happens with a growing, nationally (internationally) based organization, only a small portion of the members take full advantage of what the organization has to offer. I believe it is the responsibility of the members of the Board to build on what previous Boards have done to make the Alliance more inclusive, welcoming, and, above all, of value to the entire membership. Issues the Alliance must address:
  • Provide more educational opportunities, especially to those who can’t attend the annual conference.
  • Help members address the challenges of developing more relevant content in varied formats.
  • Help members recognize the similarities rather than differences of provider types; break the 'silo mentality'; foster concrete ways to partner and share strengths and even resources.
  • Identify and secure other sources of revenue."
