Why voters should choose you

I am honored to have been a member of the AAP during my entire career, and I very much appreciate all it has done for pediatricians and the children we serve. Some of the best people I know are pediatricians, and I am proud to be counted as one of you. Having said that, I am very interested in helping to nominate members of our organization who will be involved and dedicated to helping the AAP continue to attain its mission. For this reason, I respectfully request that you help me become a member of the Nominations Committee. Thank you.
