I have been fortunate to be involved with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons since the beginning of my career in 1983 beginning with the specialty societies. I have served on numerous councils, committees, task forces, and educational efforts throughout my career. The AAOS is dedicated to serving you and your patients. As a past president of the AAOS, past president of the Board of Specialty Societies and chair of the Annual Meeting Committee for six years I have a thorough knowledge of the responsibilities and activities of AAOS leaders. The AAOS is the world leader in orthopaedic education, advocacy, and unification of all specialties in orthopaedic care and is dedicated in helping you with your practice and care of patients. Because of my experience with AAOS I know that future members of the board and incoming vice president must have a strong vision and complete dedication to the mission of the AAOS. If I am fortunate enough to serve on the 2015 nominating committee, I will use my experience to help select the best candidates to carry on the incredible work of the AAOS to support you and your patients.
