Running for the BOD…Well, that just happened.

Your newly elected class to the AAFP Board of Directors!

Drs. Dowler, Mock, & Mueller (not a Law Firm)

As I have mentioned in prior posts, it is a bittersweet moment because when you have 100% amazing candidates for all positions, some amazing humans are not going to win.

I want to acknowledge Dr. Karen Smith who has shown up consistently, proudly, and passionately for decades but especially her past 3 years on the board. Her poise is something I deeply admire and I hope to one day obtain at least some fraction of her self-possession!

I’m so grateful to each one of you!

Your passion simply shines through

The future is knockin’

So let’s keep on rockin’

Cuz that what us family docs do!

There are so many people I could have named at the podium in my thank you remarks, but I really had only just scribbled out a limerick in case I had to give a concession speech.

My Kitchen Cabinet members helped me stay ‘me’ by encouraging my creativity and edge; the more formal delegation team took me to the next level with insights and wisdom born of experience. My fellow candidates were supporters and encouragers. And, my family always shows up— from my niece Ellie feeding my goats to Jared steaming 3,213 outfit changes! I am one lucky lady.

Now, the next phase of the journey launches…
