Why voters should choose you
Canadian chapters are unique and the inclusiveness and generosity of the AAP leadership to its Canadian Chapters has been outstanding.
I would like to give back by contributing to the District leadership as Vice Chair, and strengthen the AAP as the premier organization for pediatricians in both countries.
Having dedicated almost two decades of my life to pediatric leadership in Ontario, Canada and at the AAP, I feel I can bring a unique perspective to be a strong, contributing member of the District V leadership group.
