What motivates you to seek this position?

The National Nominating Committee is a furnace that feeds the future. The membership of the AAP is full of talent. Distributed in many different ways. The nominating committee has the opportunity to explore combinations of talent within individuals and recommend those who have the best combination to meet the needs of the children and pediatricians who care for them at a particular moment in time. Every child should have the opportunity to live their best lives and pediatricians should be empowered to help them realize that opportunity. I look forward to the challenge. Thank you for your consideration.
